Redneck moving!

At last I get the Internet to give you all the update. We are on the boat and floating. We left Seattle yesterday and had a fine time. I have uploaded a few photos for you. We enjoyed our time with Tony's mom. I, Shannon got a head cold before we left and it has progressed to a chest and throat thing. It's a good thing that I am not talking and just typing.
We paid $2.45 for gas in Everett and preceded to get checked into the boat. After we paid all the "Fee's" $15.00 for a security deposit for each of us and then an additional $50.00 for our dogs, they allowed us to get in line...for three hours. Now, you know me,quite,shy and pretty much to my self. I find it hard to meet people in strange places. But three hours later, I have a small pose to keep me entertained for 3 days. We have meet a guy named "Jimmie" he is an officer in the marines and will be working in Eagle River. He is really a nice guy BUT, he use to play collage ball for Hawaii. We are working on the in therapy here on the boat. We have a couple of other guys in the military that we talk to , but Jimmie is our hang out guy.

I have not gotten sea sick as of yet! Very exciting. I think with the head cold, I am distracted. We haven't hit open seas yet...that is coming in the next hour or so. A couple of things to remember while you're on a boat:

1. While taking care of your person business..IE: the bathroom. One should remember you can hit a wave or the boat can turn while you are sitting and knock you off the seat into the shower . Now this does have a plus side....Since you are already needing a shower after this event, you just stand up and turn it on. I do believe I have had 3 showers since yesterday.

2. Never eat clam chowder that is gray. It just isn't right and may cause some issue with your exiting system..please refer back to the reference of #1.

We are all good and a I am bit sadder yesterday then I thought I would be. I guess the boat makes it real. Its all for the best and what is life without a little adventure for a 38 year old that SHOULD be stable....what fun would that be!

Love to you all !
Shannon
