Turned the t.v. on to make certain the launch was still a go. It was. Sipped on coffee and watched till the countdown was a minute. At this point, we headed out to the bow of the boat with our cameras. It wasn’t long before we saw a blazing light streaking across the sky. We could see the booster rocket fall away as it was glowing orange. An incredible sight. I tried to get a picture. It didn’t turn out. You just have to imagine the space shuttle some place in that glowing blob.
It’s hard to imagine there are really people in that, traveling at over 17,000 m.p.h to outer space. Meanwhile, Ross and I are scrounging around in the bottom of the boat cussing and bumping our heads trying to replace a shower pump. Guess what I’m trying to say is, they can send man in to outer space, but they can’t make it just a teenie weenie easier to access this stuff on a boat?
So for all of you who think we are living the life of romantic adventure…….this is what it often looks like. We have to remove the mattress and all the other stuff in our bedroom just to get at this stuff. Ross has to put his head through the night stand to even see where the pump is.
This is what we are attempting to replace. Kind of like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
And I won’t even show you what my legs look like! They are plastered with calamine lotion and look like I have small pox from all the no-seeum bites.
I know you’re probably sick of gator pictures, but I just can’t help myself. They amaze me. And these were some biguns!!!
What we’ve seen along the St. Johns River and thought were crab traps, turned out weren’t. As we passed this fisherman, we saw him pull this large net trap out of the water. He shook it and we could see it had some fish in it.
He then pulled out “the keepers” and put them in his boat.
The weather is finally hot. We stopped at an anchorage for the night near the Seven Sisters Islands.
