Nov. 29 – Rockport, TX

Rockport Harbor

"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun." —Unknown

A little work and a little play...that's what's been keeping us busy these days. We've been getting a few projects done on the boat between playing with our grand wonders and visiting with friends. Besides doing a little decorating and a lot of enjoying of our new home, the following projects have been completed:

Fixed the horns

Teak oiled all interior wood

Fixed the spotlights

Fixed entertainment system and installed new TV

Replaced bulbs in all lights fixtures

Fixed wet bar

Cleaned boat exterior and removed ICW mustache

We've picked out tile for the galley floor and have a sofa we'd like to order for the saloon but those things will have to wait until we have more time next year. We're enjoying our new town and spending time with family, but our time in Texas is flying by fast. Only four more weeks until we'll be heading back to The Pearl.

Stan and I have literally been in hundreds of towns while cruising and we both agree Rockport truly has EVERYTHING we look for in a great stop. In fact neither of us could think of one other place that we’ve been that offers so much so close to our boat. The only thing missing are our cruising friends.

Our son trying to figure out where some wires go...I think he likes the boat.

We finally have a chair in the saloon...all we need now is a sofa.

We're going to use nice dishes on this boat...Wedgwood dishes that belonged to my great grandma. 

A couple of friends came and spent the weekend with me on the boat...a great place for a girls night out.

Views from our beach...a great place for a morning walk.
