Back to Wisconsin for work the last week of October, and it was COLD!! BRRRRRR!! Below are some pictures of what the weather was doing when I got to my car on a Friday afternoon in Eau Claire. Driving back to Madison that day was like being in a Blizzard! Give me the tropics, PLEASE!!
Endings and Beginnings
My Mom died the other day. Doing what she loved to do, shopping! And with her passing goes a woman with incredible spirit, love and affection. We will all miss her, especially her cooking. 83 years young, Mom never knew how to stop going. Despite lots of pain and discomforts as she got older, she persevered and always got the job done. Her most recent accomplishment: Senior Volunteer of the Year Award near her summer home in the Catskills. Mom, I miss you very, very much. We all do.
Conception Island, Bahamas
This past week Gayle and I sailed from Georgetown to Conception Island. Conception Island is a remote place about a days sail from Georgetown. It is a Bahamas national park, and therefore relatively pristine. As you will see from the pictures below, there were plenty of "groceries" to be had, including a 20 pound Nassau Grouper that was the biggest fish we have speared on the trip. The freezer on the boat is packed with fish we have shot, and we are enjoying it immensely. We are now back in Georgetown hunkered down for some windy weather, and keeping a careful eye out for storms.
