Getting Bob's boat wet

Last night Bob, Kim and I headed down to the boat ramp with the plan to get Bob's boat wet. Well, after getting it into the water Bob turns the ignition and turns the engine over, and over, and over, and then dead. Turns out the batteries were on their last legs. So, we had practice and getting the boat on and off the trailer!! Not that Bob needs practice as it turns out - after our excursion he simply drives the boat up onto the trailer. No winching for him!!

After dropping me back at the house so I can do some more work for Henry, Bob and Kim head out to buy some new batteries.

This morning we all head down to Biscayne Bay boat ramps again, and this time everything goes to plan. So out we head into the deep blue yonder! Well wasn't I surpised to find that after powering along for half an hour or so that the GPS / depth finder / fish finder thingo is still telling us that we are in 6 - 8 feet of water! We head through a pass at Elliot Key, and finally head out into open water.



As you can see Kim's babies, Roxie and Zoie are enjoying the boat as well!! Actually we all had a ball, stayed out on the water for a few hours. We saw some of the local wildlife that you wouldn't want a closer encounter with.


 A Portuguese Man'o'War, definitely not to be trifled with.

Whilst out on the water I was reflecting again on how much my life has changed since meeting Henry, and learning about creating one's life rather than just bouncing from situation to situation. Since adopting what I learnt from Henry, my life with Janine and Jordan has gone from 'ok' to living a dream, and getting better all the time. Here I am, spending my days with fantastic generous people in Miami, learning one of my heart's desires from one of the best in the business, and about to meet up with my family to travel across the US in a gorgeous Motorhome on a dream holiday.

Then we get back, I look out the window and see this.



Some say meterological phenomena. I say Nature's Majesty.
