New Address.

After being based here on the west coast of Florida for so long I decided to
upgrade to an official address. In that regard I rented a post
office box. Best of all I have received two items already. One was a
love note (is there romance in the air?!?) and the other a letter from
my Grand. Life is certainly very good afloat!
First, here
is my Grand, aka the Original addressing the envelope:
Grandmas
love the babies. I am fortunate that my eldest grand aka The Original
is an amazing young lady. She goes to a good school and enjoys
classes. This year she took up the harp. I have to admit that I
never imagined that any one in my family would ever do such a thing.
I think she's wonderful...
Plus she sends thank you notes to me. I love that.
Thank you notes are the coolest!
I spent quite some time in
CARRABELLE
↓ a while
back.
On the south
side of the Carrabelle River is an area cruisers can anchor for
short periods of time. Frankly though, stopping at C-Quarters Marina
is a better option for many. The marina offers easy access to a
variety of stores (grocery, hardware, discount) along with
restaurants, a library and even a post office.
A postcard
from a friend at
C-Quarters Marina
in Carrabelle just arrived.
The folks at C-Quarters are incredibly nice. This place represents old Florida in the best
sense of the term.
The front
porch of C-Quarters Marina overlooks the fuel dock and south bank of
the Carrabelle River. It is a great spot for relaxing in the cool
breezes, solving world problems, discussing fishing spots, and
general socialization. I enjoyed the camaraderie and made new
friends on that porch.
C-Quarters Marina has many
amenities including a fuel dock, ice for fishermen, a ship's store,
plus free wifi. The best part about the place however is the folks
who congregate there. The people at C-Quarters have perfected
hospitality.
One of the
folks there at
C-Quarters Marina follows my website. Thanks Kim!
Apparently Vos's supplier of food and fun (Kim) has shown Vos
pictures of my Skipper.
A love note
has been sent by Vos to Skipper at my new address.
This fine
specimen is Vos:
Vos is a handsome pup. I love his sun shades...
Receiving two
personal items at the post office on a single day was wonderful.
Memory Lane:
One of my favorites as a child afloat was receiving mail. When
we would get some place, we would notify the post office and
they would forward all our mail to a new address. Getting a
month or more of mail in a single package was a Big Deal. It
still is. I confess that I am inordinately pleased to have
received mail. |
In the
meantime I am in the process of making alterations along with
improving my girl aka Seaweed. Upgrading infrastructure can be
costly. Still, I am concerned that if I don't buy NOW, the prices
will become out of my reach, so...
A couple times a week I check my post office box for mail. So far
I've received a lovely note from my Grand, and Skipper's love note.
It should be fun this Christmas. I'll have a real address for mail.
I can't wait!!!
Save this
address if you wish to send me a Christmas card: (yes, I do love the
holidays)

For foreign
friends who prefer a street address, this is what you'd use:

So this is
my life aboard Seaweed. Currently I have an electrical issue in the
pilothouse. That is taking up my time and thoughts. I ordered a new
fuse block. The intention is to do a full upgrade and tidy the
entire wiring overhead up there. That project has been long
pondered.
I am great at
pondering. For me these days are perfection.
Thank you
for reading. I appreciate that.
Do you treasure tangible letters more than emails?
And, what is your most recent message in the mail?
