Wow, it's hard to believe we have been back for more than a month!!  The anchor that we put down on the day we arrived back in the USA almost didn't want to come up. Thanks to Darrell, we were able to unwrap it and leave that spot.  
After that, Alibi spent a couple of weeks at the dock. 
We took a road trip to Amarillo for Jessica's college graduation. On the way there, we stopped at the Island Packet plant in Largo, FL. We got to meet Bob Johnson, the designer of our great boat!  Even got his autograph!!  We had hoped to get a tour of the IP plant but they were closed. 
While we were in TX, we learned that our first grandchild will be a boy.  We even got to be there for the sonogram!!  Our next sewing project is to custom make the crib set (bumper pads, quilt, valance, skirt, etc.) for him. We are so excited!!
We are dreaming about the next trip on Alibi. We are going to leave soon for a tour of the eastern US coast. Probably as far as Chesapeake Bay this time. We want to see the coast of Maine but time, weather, and the birth of our grandson will keep us from getting that far north.

Whew, Alibi is back on the hook!!  A HUGE thank you goes to Jack and Sue for looking after her while we were gone!  She is itching to go sailing and we are too. She looked mighty nice in that dock space!!
