Date: 28 April  2021. Seaweed's New Address.

© janice142


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)
Janice aboard Seaweed
Post Office Box 8284
Madeira Beach, FL  33738

For foreign friends who prefer a street address, this is what you'd use:
Janice Marois
15019 Madeira Way, #8284
Madeira Beach, FL  33708
 

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?
 

Regarding the Comments Section, found at the end of every article:

  • Before you type in each block be sure to hit the backspace key. Coding inserts a space in every box. Your email address will come back as malformed unless you remove that space. (You don't have to include your email address.)

  • The capcha is case sensitive.

The Archive holds a running list with synopsis of published articles, and links to same.

A favorite aphorism:  I don't understand these complaints about the postal service. Time was, you could put a two-cent stamp on a letter and mail it, and it would arrive at its destination in two days. Now you put a thirty-two-cent stamp on a letter and it can take four to five weeks to arrive. Still only a penny a day! Harper's.

Every gift helps.

The Cruising Kitty is what boaters refer to as spending money. There's never enough aboard Seaweed!
