This photo is Bob...supervising the splash...Extra special thank you goes out to Bob Jackson and his partner Hillary Derby...They agreed to help us get to the boat and put us up for a night...THAT TURNED INTO A WEEK!!! Hillary cooked wonderful healthly meals... breakfast was always a treat and then there were desserts (coconut cake, key lime pie, ice cream and homemade chocolate)...we never had the same meal twice...plus we spent hours solving the problems of the world and playing with the cat, Riley. Oh, yea, Rummicube and Catch Phrase...laughed and had a great time...while riding herd on the boat crew to get things done. Since we are miles and miles from motels and restaurants, their kindness saved us bunches of stress. We'll never be able to repay them. Wow, what a deal!!! When they say this adventure is about the people you meet...they are talking about this couple. A chance encounter last June...equals friends for life. THANKS BOB and HILLARY!!!! Don't know how we'd have managed without your help!!!!
