Pulling into Sunset Bay Marina felt like we were returning home after a great month long vacation. They assigned us to the same dock that we were previously on; so we recognized many of the boaters around us. In spite of a heavy drizzle of rain, the couple on the boat next to us came over to help us tie up. She commented that she thought we had met at Green Turtle Marina in Kentucky a couple of years ago. As soon as she said that, I said, "I remember you -- to celebrate your retirement you rode your bikes across the United States". The weird things we remember. And, the weird things people do. Yikes!!! I remember asking him "how long did it take for your crotch to quit hurting?"
Saturday was our 45th wedding anniversary. Now that we've made it this far I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll see 50 together. Ft. Pierce has a huge farmers' market and craft show every Saturday. Plus, this week was the Oyster Festival. We found good food at the booths and a few trinkets for the grandkids. Later that evening we cleaned up for dinner at the Riverwalk Cafe. It's a step up from the dives that we normally eat in. I guess 45 years deserves a bit of a splurge.

Our daughter, Jennifer, called today (as she does most days). She said, "Mom, I caught up on your blog last night and I hope that our retirement will be as much fun as you and Dad are having." I hope that is true for everyone! Living on a boat and traveling is perfect for the two of us. But, it sure isn't perfect for everyone. Life is short. Find what you love and take the risk! Believe me, it was scary to sell everything and sail off on our boat. Take that first step and LIVE YOUR DREAM! Have no regrets. Ok, I'm off the soapbox.
Gotta smile - we're loving the ride!
