Awaiting passage

Approaching the lock in a holding pattern awaiting our turn.

Oops...wrong side

Railroad bridge crossing over the canal that opens for watercraft by swivling 90 degrees. But you still need to be starboard side for passage. Long trip back to Gulfport, MS.

Locks of Port St Lucie

Moved last Saturday across the state to Phipps State Park in Stuart, FL for the week. Located our neighbors, Judy and Bert Haese and went on an inlet cruise on the man made St Lucie Canal. First mate Judy is readying the bouys to tie up as the gates close behind us. Then all hell breaks loose as the gates open in the front. No, just kidding as it took about 20 minutes to fill.

More Cortland snowbirds.

While Randy rested, Linda & I went on visit to Gary & Linda Mead's new winter location in Cape Coral also. Gary is a former co-worker at Monarch Machine in Cortland with Linda and I and his wife, Linda is retired from the Cortland school system. An interesting note is both Lindas' birthday is July 17th. They're doing a great job refurbishing their winter home.

A win for the Giants!!!!!!!!!!!

A big win for the Giants and Randy is happy. Amanda thinks tomorrow will be different. She was right again, "One party Parksy" on Sunday afternoon.

Giants score.......

Randy and Amanda celebrate the first score by jumping in the pool. Giants do it again and again! What are those Cowboys doing? Oh, playing golf.

Visiting the area....

We picked up the RV in Kissimmee Saturday for a week stay on the Peace River in Wauchula. Sunday found us in Cape Coral at the Winter residence of Jane, Randy & Amanda Park from Virgil, NY.
