Name:
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.

Brother Larry







Well, he is finally back on Secret Passion, at least temporarily. Hopefully Larry will be able to travel north with us through Annapolis and to Rhode Island for the summer. We are still in Jacksonville, hauling the boat for bottom paint on May 14, and hopefully out of here no later than June 1. We are anxious to get underway!



The pictures here are of the Chilean missile frigate "FF Blanco." After participating in an offshore exercise with the US Navy along with several other countries, Blanco came to JAX and moored for a few days in the downtown area. Jerry and Larry were able to tour the Dutch-made warshipk. The helicopter you see behind Larry while he posed with "the runner" has its own hangar onboard. The frigate is visible in the background of the other pics. Later!

Yay! I love the update. The photos are great! Thanks for helping my father get through mother's day. I am sure glad he was with all of you. Please give everyone hugs for me.

Happy Birthday Robert!

Love always,

Heather
