Changing Plans Again

Vero Beach
No LL

Just the other night we were enjoying dinner and a Balderdash game on board Viking Rose with our friends Dave, Hilde, Penny and Richard. All three boats are going to the Bahamas and it is the first time for all of us. We talked about what fun it would be to travel together since we were all leaving about the same time.

Well, one of the pleasures of cruising is that you can change plans at the drop of a hat. We were planning on leaving this week. Then, Libby and I signed on to work at the Stuart Boat Show this weekend. We can pick up a few pennies and have fun at the same time. That means postponing our departure a few days.

Then, we got a call from our daughter Jenny. Jenny wants to escape the cold and sail with us for a couple of weeks. Horray! We always love to see family, especially Jenny. She's coming next Tuesday so we'll delay our departure a few additional days.

Then I heard from Penny that they will delay their departure a few days for reasons of their own.

I haven't heard from Dave and Hilde on Raven if they've changed their plans too, but I wouldn't be surprised.

p.s. The cruiser's nickname for this place is Velcro Beach. I wonder how that came about?
