| GREAT SAVE! |

We are now anchored,
just off shore of The Boat House Restaurant here in Naples, Florida still waiting on weather. We have been very entertained by watching a
kids sailing class in action. I had
forgotten how unforgiving a small sail boat can be. Some of those kids were
great with few turning them over.
Future cruisers in training, they were having a blast!

| CUTE..... BUT NOT COMFORTABLE |
Last
night we were anchored in 6.5 ft. of water.
Everything looked great, but looks can be deceiving. We neglected to check the tide
table until of course, we were stuck.
There is a normal 2 ½ to 3 ft. tide.
By low tide, about 9:30, we were not only stuck but were leaning over as
much as 22 degrees. It was almost funny,
but not quite. Things were falling off every flat surface & Rod & I had to wedge
ourselves on the sofa behind the table to watch a movie. By midnight when we went to bed the boat was
almost back to normal, the tide was coming in.
A maritime disaster was avoided & another important lesson learned.
