GL: By THE WIFE about THE WIFE was /dock lines

[Ralph Yost]

Charles and Pat
I really, really enjoy Pat's writing. Wish you would blog on your web site !
The version depicted below is precisely what my wife and I live with. She 
has her version and I have what I call "the facts". I claim she embellishes 
some aspects of her version. She claims I dont remember as much now as I 
used to or think so.....
Although our Loop trip will not be for another 4 years, we have read a lot 
of other's experiences. Last year we decided we would write a regular digest 
or blog of our travels on The Loop.  When we first discussed this aspect of 
the trip last year, Celeste said there would have to be TWO blogs - a HIS 
and a HERS, or more properly, THE MAN and THE WIFE versions! My wife is a 
prolific writer and has always hand written daily logs of all sorts of 
details and events of our vacations and boat trips. (If anyone wants any 
info on any place we have been, she has it....just ask !).

Also planned to be a part of our Loop blog I will have a live video BRIDGE 
CAM showing where we are at all times, pointing at the bow of the boat. 
Cruise lines do this now. It will allow our friends and family to SEE some 
of the things we write about. However, we will NOT broadcast sound.

Pat and Charles, please keep writing us these gems of wisdom !
