Location: Everywhere, World

Two landlubbers who have learned how to sail, and now plan to see the world! Jerry Simpson is a retired Oklahoma Highway Patrol Major after 27 years. Robert Brawner has retired from Texaco/Shell after 17 years with the company, and provides the "brawn" for handling the boat! First mate Maggie (the intrepid Bassett Hound) provides moral support, and most importantly, neverending entertainment.

Norfolk







All,
Our trip continues without brother Larry, who flew back to Oklahoma and California on family business. We will miss him a lot, especially Maggie, who fell head over heels in love with him. You see Larry here next to a statue fittingly called "Tourists."
While we were in Norfolk, the Norwegian training ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl docked and departed after a visit, full of trainees for their navy. It was quite interesting to see such a tall ship up close, and to be around a foreign crew for awhile.
We start into the "ditch" (ICW) tomorrow for the next leg of our journey to Jacksonville. Laters!
