can I say jealous ... you look great ... and the water does too ... you need to board a bigger boat to
hold all us stowaways ....

haven't been on any sea type waters in years as in 25 or so  ... haven't been on the rivers in maybe
12 years ... my sons grew up and abandoned me  :(... my landlubber husband almost drowned when he was
8 and is scared of a filled bath tub...he has told the girls horror stories of water and other than our waist high
creek and the pool they don't want to get near the any big water ...then they go chasing and herding
1000 pound cows on foot like no ones business  ...

I am gonna have to hire someone to get in a canoe and float down the Elk ... I had a very interesting good/bad
encounter with the Elk River almost 23 years ago and it became my friend ... I find water sooths me in ways
nothing else does ...

No sure how I would do on a boat... walking along the lake in Centennial park the water rippling made me
dizzy and headachy... I go sit by the river and watch it go by but canoing it alone is not a good idea but I
think about it  ...
the river changes regularly... gonna put that on my list of things to conquer this summer... boat ride... may
end up just paddle boating at the state park but it would be a start ... may coerce my out of work more than
working son to go in case my legs give out ...

Captain Deb,
Wish I were there....the ocean always calls to me because I spent most of my childhood in Atlantic City, NJ (before casinos, when it was just a resort town).  It looks beautiful where you are, and you look great.  Enjoy.

Hey Capt,

Maybe you can sail over to Punt Cana April 16 - April 23.  My husband I will be staying at the Majestic Colonial.  It would be nice to see you and Sawyer if you find the Island  ;)

Well folks Dr Love is down here to retrieve me.  I threatened never to come home so he has come to tie me up and stuff me in the car kicking and screaming and drag me back to the frozen north. He's mean!  However today I took him to beautiful Turtle Beach where we watched pelicans swoop and dive and play in the turquoise Gulf of Mexico and as we speak he is on Hotpad.com looking at houses on Siesta key.  Really small houses, but houses. I think he's thawing!

Hey Capt. Deb.
Thought you could appreciate this. Here is my son Rivers at age 3 being the Captain of our Catalina Sailboat at the Grand Maumelle Sailing Club in Arkansas. Congrats to you Deb. on feeling better and getting back to the "healing waters" as I call them.

What a cutie patootie!  I have yet to get my grandkids out sailing even though we have a small Dagger 18 which we trailer to a large lake over in Tennessee.  Haven't sailed her since my surgery. Maybe this is the year!!

YES!  The only way he got me in the car was to promise to buy us a place down here. I'm ready to sell everything and move on down! I can't handle winter anymore. Period. Being down here reminds me of how much I miss the islands. There are some great deals down here right now, too and we just sold one of our rentals so......who wants to come visit next winter?

I'll just open a rehab center for ANer's like they have for wounded seabirds and orphaned manatees!  We'll call it Captain Deb's Wonkyhead Wehab and Wecweation Facility.  Y'all come!!!

P. S. Post surgical patients can learn to walk again on the beach so if they fall over they just fall in the water and bob around a little. No problemo!
