When we got married (all those years ago 
) my parents gave us a Visitors’ Book to keep track of all our family and friends who came to visit and stay over the years - it certainly makes for interesting reading.
Well we decided to bring it along on our trip and plan to ask anyone dropping by Amanzi to sign it.
Last night we had our first visitor – Dave from his sailboat Mary Lee. We first met Dave a few days ago – he is from Northern Idaho and like us bought a boat here in Baltimore. He is also heading down the ICW to Florida, as are several other boaties in the marina. Once we all leave here we’ll no doubt meet up somewhere or other down the line.
Dave has an amazing amount of determination and get up and go – having been laid up for 5 years with a severe back injury he decided he needed to be up and doing something. Earlier this year a friend told him that he could either have pain and sit and watch TV all day or he could have pain and live life. So he drove across the US and has been here about a month working to get Mary Lee ship shape and ready for his trip. He is hoping to one day sail on through the Panama Canal and who knows may even head to New Zealand.
We wish him fair weather and a great trip and we’ll look forward to staying in touch with him – and yes, Dave became our first entry in this section of our visitors’ book.
