Visitors!

Last weekend, Bob and Jodi visited from Grand Rapids.  It was great to have friends on board!  We scurried around and cleaned Virginia Dare inside and out, in anticipation of our guests :)

Our aft cabin

Ready for friends!

Sunshine and blue sky await Bob and Jodi's arrival

Took a walk on the beach Saturday evening before dinner.  The water was ~70*F but the breeze was cool.

They're smiling because they left Michigan and 20*F :)

We're smiling because we have guests :)

Beach flowers

Jodi had never been sailing, so we headed out for a little sail on Sunday!

This gorgeous sailboat was heading out to sea as well

157' of beautiful.  We suspect it was a short shakedown cruise.  They tried all sails and headed back to Palm Beach.

We saw a loggerhead turtle, but I didn't have my camera handy.  

Bob at the helm

Unfortunately, this focused on the wheel, not the Cooper boys

I believe it's safe to say that Jodi enjoyed the day

I never tire of this view

Heading back to our marina in the ICW (A1A bridge at Sherman Point)

Cool old boat heading south

OK, I think I'm finished catching up on blogging.  More soon!
