In the mean time Sid returned from his 6 week trip to the States where he visited with some family and friends. He had a great time but main reason was to sell his Mom’s car which he did the very last day before he went to the airport in
He had a great time with his cousin Nancy in NC and had a chance to make home made Molasses with his cousin O’Neal, I tell you that stuff is liquid gold, now I HAVE to make pancakes for breakfast.
He visited Ron and Leslie in

Greg and Megan Bilson in
Joe and Mary Mondello were surprised when Sid popped up at their door near
Sid barley got a rest when he was at Bob and Kari’s in
Before he flew home he stayed with Dale and Sandy (Snow White) in
Thanks you all so much for taking such good care of my hubby, he had a wonderful time and said that it was really great to see you all. You fed him well too I can tell LOL!
While he was gone I was dealing with some health issues. Daily I kept breaking out in hives, still do and learned that I'm allergic to all kind of foods and things. What we think the real problem is, is the cement factory that is polluting the air around here. I'll find out once we leave.Actually it was a good thing Sid wasn't here as my diet was pretty awful, he got fed much better in the States. I’m glad he’s back home though, six weeks was a long time, especially taking care of two boats. Our friends on Three Keys were in the States and we took care of their boat and their two furry critters, so when Sid was gone I moved onto Three Keys and went through everything on Paradise, cleaned her in and out and sanded the new teak floor, so when Sid came back all he had to do was varnish, well there was some more sanding in-between coats.
He got done just on time to move back onto
Of course while stateside he hit every West Marine store he saw and brought lots of boat parts home, which kept him busy for a while fixing things and exchanging others.
The sails needed some re-stitching so did the dodger and I had to make a new radar cover, gas jug covers and sewed other odds and end. All the work is done now
Of course we did not just work we had some fun too, every Sunday night we have a potluck. Everybody brings something to throw on the BBQ a dish to share, something to drink and lots of fun stories.
Just before Sid left we celebrated Pam’s 50th birthday with a roasted pig and turkey, that was a hit.
For Sid’s Birthday I made a wonderful Fondue Dinner for him and our neighbors on the dock.
When Jim and Jenny came back we had a Birthday party for Jim, Sid and Harry with a whole lamb roast, wow was that yummy.
Not to mention Halloween!
Unfortunately the Maremares family is dying out, there are currently only 5 cruising boats left at Maremares. Whenever one leaves they fill the slip with permanent Venezuelan boat. We heard that they don’t want any cruising boats in this marina anymore. Just glad we had the chance to be here while it still was good.
