Jim & Julie, Darci's Recent Visit To Joe Wheeler

We have been enjoying our leisure time so much that it’s hard to motivate ourselves to do anything constructive. We were kind of shamed into cleaning the last 2 afternoons because the boats beside us Beth and Tam on “Second Serve” (48’ Marine Trader) and Bob and Kem on “Spirit Dance” (49’ DeFever) find projects to work on all day long. Tom started the project of putting “Poli-Glow” on the oxidized hard top. It is a project that we have been procrastinating since we bought the product at the Miami Boat Show two years ago. The product is a labor intensive install, however the end result is amazing. Wish we would have done it sooner. The hard top looks great with a restored high gloss that never needs waxing, just washed with soap and water.

I take a walk every day and sometimes we ride our bikes but we don’t venture very far because it is sooo hilly here. I see lots of deer on the way.
Wednesday afternoon Jim and Julie Groves parked their motor home at Joe Wheeler camp ground and came to our boat for a visit. We were speechless when we saw that our dear friend Darci Banks was with them. What a pleasant surprise and we were clueless that Jim, Julie, and Darci had put this together as a total surprise to us. We had a great time catching up, snacks and beverages on the boat. Jim & Julie were gracious to invite us to their gorgeous motor home for dinner, social and beverages. Thanks Julie and Jim for taking the time to make this work. They continued on their trip south early Thursday morning so it was a short visit but wonderful experience to visit with our dear friends from the QC.

  1. Tom & Diann, have had a great time following your adventure. Sounds like after a little rocky start everything has been smooth sailing. Pam & I are so envious particularly now since the boat came out of the water wednesday morning. Pam has said this is the last year we're taking it out. She wants to run it far enough south that we can leave it in the water thru the winter and be able to use it on long weekends. We'll see. We're looking forward to continuing to follow your marvelous adventure.
    Have a wonderful time.
    Bob
