We are passing some real pleasure. It has been great fun having Bob and Linda on board for these last few days. They have seen a good portion of the Florida East Coast from Stuart up to New Smyrna Beach. There has been much to catch up on between their busy lives in Colorado and our life in Austin and on Rock Chalk. But this has been a great opportunity for them to experience our "lifestyle" on the boat. It is not fancy but as you can see from the photos, it is fun.

Bob is enjoying the 80 degree temperatures while Judy drives the boat.

As we crossed into Mosquito Lagoon we followed a mother Manatee and her baby as they cruised the Haulover Canal. We followed them for quite a distance as they were taking their morning swim.

We rushed all day to get to New Smyrna Beach in order to watch an Atlas V rocket launch from Cape Canerval at 5:20 pm on Tuesday. This is the same place and bridge that we climbed to watch the third from the last Space Shuttle launch two years ago. But alas, an Atlas V seemed like a fircracker compared to the Space Shuttle. It was pretty tiny. But we still caught it on camera. Look close.

All in all it has been a great week with my cousin and cousin in law on board. Hopefully it is not the last time they can join us, and as a message to all my other cousins and family, do not be strangers. We will probably not have Rock Chalk forever, so if you can, come have some fun. Thanks to Bob and Linda for making such a great week for Shelley and I.
