January 2012 Cruise

Good morning everyone,

Mike and I have been working a lot lately which is a VERY good thing.  However, like everyone else, we need time off to recharge our batteries.  Our greatest pleasure is taking our trawler, the Patricia Ann, out for a few days on the hook.  We are going to our favorite anchorage, Cumberland Island.  The weather is beautiful for mid-January -- mid 70's and sunny.  I never tire of Cumberland and would like to spend weeks on the hook but the business right now won't allow for that.  There is such a sense of freedom; it's hard to explain to those who have never done it.

The great thing about technology these days is that Mike and I are able to work while on the hook.  We received all the acceptances on the trawler in Manteo and were able to wire money out while on the hook, thus closing the deal.  Life is good!

We slept like babies last night with no generator and no heat.  It was wonderful; the best rest either of us has had in weeks.  Today we will go explore Cumberland, as we always do, and I am sure we will see something new; we always do.

I just wanted to post a fun post so that you know we do allow for some "down" time when weather and business allow.

Mike made a video of our latest visit to the island ... enjoy!
