Just got back from a 5 day, 250-mile boat trip and here are a few postcards we forgot to send.
These are morning shots from Loggerhead Marina at Stewart, where we stayed two nights. Stewart is on the Atlantic Coast side of Florida, so we boated from Gulf to Ocean -- along the edge of huge Lake Okechobee. It was a fine adventure.
We took the laptop with us, but it wasn't working very well. If that had happened when we were in the RV, it would have felt as if I were missing my right arm -- but in the boat, I just didn't really care. Being out in the fresh air all day, combined with the gentle rocking motion of the boat when we turned in for the evening after dinner -- and beach brain prevailed.
A wonderful trip -- but It's good to be back.
I like these electronic postcards - they don't get marked up in the mail and I don't have to worry about losing them in the chaos. Glad you had a great trip - do tell us more!

Sallie, We drove up to the Loggerhead Club and Marina last month to visit a cousin who was docked there for the month of Feb. Isn't the Wahoo Restaurant delightful.
Hugs,
Pam

Your boat trip sounds like a dream vacation. I like the part of being out in the fresh air all day long. Here in northern California we are completing 23/26 days of rain. I could use some DRY fresh air about now. Your pictures are gorgeous as usual.

Ah - what superb photos. Tranquil and gorgeous. So glad you just enjoyed the moment.
About your question - why are we renting a summer cottage now? Well, it's a six-month rental. We got the keys last weekend because the people renting to us are going away for a while. We intend to go there over weekends as soon as the weather gets better and then, of course, to spend lots of time there in the summer holidays.

Sallie, your trip looks and sounds fabulous. Those calm waters and placid skies would be so satisfying. Tell me you read your Kindle as the boat gently rocked and you sipped something cool...

I wondered where you'd been!
The 'rocking motion of the boat' sounds heavenly.
Lovely shots - a beautiful sunrise/sunset!
Welcome back!
