I am in Oriental N.C.
A few days ago I got batteries for my camera.When I turned on my camera it said please date and time. So I set my date to 12/4/2009. After I set my date I took a few pictures of my stuffed animals, Dante and Edna and Gigi. A lot were of the cats and Dante. My camera can hold 263 pictures ( movies count as five pictures). Two days ago I took about 15 pictures of the cats. I'm really happy my camera is working again.
Now for some boat facts!

Hello Blake! Great to see your new postings. The images are descriptive and a lot of fun to see. We are very glad that your camera is up and running so that we can see even more. Don't forget, however, to continue with your narratives. Between you and your Mom, we really feel that we are on the voyage with you.
ReplyDeleteYou will be happy to know that it has been freezing here in New England. So, whatever the southern states have to serve up in terms of wind, sea, and weather, it can't be worse than the Atlantic off the coast of Maine this time of year! You see how life is relative--always worse or always better depending on your state of mind, where you are, and what others are experiencing.
We were really blown away by your Mom's video of the boat under sail with a stiff wind! It sounded like being on roller coaster, or what the old sailors used to call a New England sleigh ride! Your description of being in your berth and having the top port hatch to peep out of as your "get out of jail card" was priceless. We really like your writing.
It was wonderful to hear your voices yesterday on Mamine's birthday. She was so surprised. You all sounded in great spirits and ready for the next phase of your fantastic voyage. Keep us posted. We love you all. Give "Dantoucious" a big hug and kiss for us and keep your eyes sharp and your courage up for all the challenges ahead. Love, G & M
