It feels good to have gotten caught up with the blogging to this point. Today was one of those stay on the boat days, even though the weather was sunny and beautiful. Some days you just have to clean up and get organized, and especially after several days of travel. I did laundry, cleaned the head (bathroom) and vacuumed the salon cushions and floor, organized the girl's clothes to get wool and cold weather clothes into bags and warm weather stuff pulled out. And from here on, I will ban snowflake cutting in the cabin...
Our water pump had been out for a couple of days and Mattias, determined bugger that he is, surfed last night and thought and thought, and then around midnight last night, pumped the water out of the tank. Never mind that the rest of us were sleeping when the pump, when in a deep sleep sounds like a jackhammer, goes off...he was convinced to have found a solution. Come morning, he had! Something clicked in his mind and after reading and thinking, replaced a part correctly, and the water-- hot and cold, are available now. Even the pump sounds different! It pays to be married to a geek! (If you read this Tias, just kidding!)
We got a rental car today and Mattias dropped the girls and I off for our first haircuts in a couple of months. We were looking a little shaggy and were looking forward to getting cleaned up. The girls got their first shampoo in a shampoo bowl and enjoyed their mini spa treatment. We went to what was convenient which was nothing trendy, but Donna did a nice job on all three of us--$60.00 total, not including tip!
Went to the old town for dinner and back home again. Very lovely Spanish inspired town since St. Augustine is the first city in America and was inhabited by Spaniards. Girls were pooped and in bed before 7:30 tonight. Liv is still up reading...
More later,
Carrie

I am sad and excited that you have come to Florida as it feels like you are approaching the end soon... or maybe it's just the warmth of the sand and sun that make it feel like the end of a long summer evening. If you can't do the Bahamas, maybe at least sail further south to the Keys. There is sooo much more to explore that I hope you could see and write about. We love the pictures, especially of Liv and Hanna.. now get someone to snap your family and you can post it as your Christmas Picture!
or maybe your waiting to have it taken with Mickey and Goofy?!
