We got back from our short trip to Cozumel late Fri. night. We didn’t spend Thanksgiving week in Arlington as planned. When we got to DFW we soon found out that Claudia’s father had passed away just the night before, succumbing to the chemo-therapy he’d been receiving to treat his cancer. We were quite shocked as he had been doing much better, but were also amazed and thankful for how things had worked out for us to be able to get down to San Antonio to be with her mother. If it weren’t for the problems we had with the boat, there is no telling how far away and out of touch we could have been. As it was, we were able to drive down in our car that our son still has in Arlington trying to sell for us. We plan to leave Lake Charles by the end of this week to continue our journey. Our new goal is Clearwater, Florida (to continue our shakedown). Laddie, has Vern got his email going yet? I thought he would have by now, but haven’t heard from him. We’re listening on 4054.0 MHz each night at 0645 and 0745 CST.
Keep in touch.

David and Claudia
