We had a wonderful time this week with our daughter and son-in-law. As often happens, we had the worst weather of the winter so far, but they were great sports about it. Granted, even though it seems cold to us it is much warmer here than their home in Massachusetts. We spent a few nights near Chat ‘n Chill where we went for a hike around the southern end of Stocking Island then lunch at Snappy Turtle. Next we moved over to Red Shanks for better protection from the W and NW winds. From there George took Pam and Brad over to the Man ‘O War Cay sandbar at low tide. Then, before returning to Breeze On, they did a reconnaissance run over to Brown’s Marine where their taxi was to pick them up this morning. We enjoyed games of Mexican Train and spent time planning our upcoming trip to England and Scotland to celebrate our 50th anniversary this year.

There they go.
This morning Pam and Brad donned our foul weather jackets and pants and secured their luggage in garbage bags. They and George took a very wet dingy ride through the wind and chop to Brown’s Marine while I stayed with Breeze On. We agreed that the ride would be even wetter if I had been in the dinghy.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them which seemed to pass so quickly. We may be biased, but we believe they are the most delightful couple we know.

All ready to set out on the wet dingy ride to shore.

So happy Pam and Brad were able to come for a visit! Looks like you had so much fun and quality time together! You all look great! Miss you and love you all ❤️
