The latest from Second Star


                                                                             Oct 1 2013
Greetings,
          Wow, it’s been over a month since I’ve written anything. And it’s not been an uneventful month.
          I left for a trip to the States on the 4 of Sept. I spent 10 days in Ft Myers working and then 10 days at the beach in NC for my family reunion. It’s hard to be away from home for 3weeks but it was a good and productive trip. It is always god to have time with my family. I miss them very much being so far away.
          While I was gone, Johne did a bunch of work aboard Second Star. In our ongoing quest for less energy consumption, we decided to replace the fridge with a newer, more efficient model. So I came home to a new fridge and lots of pretty wood trim work that wasn’t here when I left (I’ll be cleaning saw dust out of the corners for months). Johne also got to go to the ballet while I was away. I was bummed to have to miss it but I was really glad he and Sharon and a couple of other cruisers got to go enjoy it.
          Now we’re starting to get ready to head to Ecuador. Johne has a little more work here, we have a party to go to this weekend and, of course, we’ll wait for good weather, but in the next couple of weeks we expect to be moving on. It’s good; I think we’ve been in Panama too long. Not that I haven’t enjoyed it here but it’s time for a change…
