Well it has been two months since I was on board Anticipation and I must say I sure have missed her! Jimmy has made a few necessary trips to check on her while I was at work but quality time with her is quickly approaching and we are ready! The Suburban aka "The Beach Bus" was loaded down with a couple of DIY projects and we were on a mission!
The creamy leather sofa in the salon was nice to look at and great for storage but that is where it ended...we wanted a sleeper that was also comfy to sit and relax as we have "dinner and a movie" now and again. In our diligent search we discovered the convertibility of the futon. However, the search for comfort, function, and appeal proved to be a little challenging. We are quite pleased with the end result and I cannot believe that I failed to capture the process on camera!
Name change was the next project on the list...
Heat gun and plastic putty knife in hand & off with the old!
It was a tedious task but my Captain has great patience!
I could not resist capturing the beauty of the day while my dear Captain was hard at work! 
I wish this weather was here to stay...it was fabulous!
The planner that he is; Jimmy decided we should have a trial run at applying her name so here is the temporary version. Getting it on right was a challenge but now we know a few tricks to making application smooth and the final version is soon to come
Project day two has come to a close...let's tidy up a bit!
Ahh... nothing like a cold beer and a sunset after a day of work!
Wait! What happened to our sunset?!?!...as we watched the fog roll in.
It's a new day and the weather is perfect once again...our projects for the week are put to rest...time for a little cruise! 
We are underway and I am at awe of the sky scape!
Returning to my childhood, I was searching out shapes in the clouds and found a slight resemblance to a duck! Well, maybe it looked more like a duck before I took the shot...lol
Looks like the dolphins are ready for Spring,
they were very playful and plentiful.
Pelicans were plenty also... I love watching the wild life!
Wow...is that another duck above the flag?!?!
Lots of activity going on...everyone is enjoying the beauty of the day!
The Gulf was calm enough to cruise around to see the beach from a different perspective!
Pelican doing a"Karate Kid" imitation!
Our 2 bedroom Gulf front condo in Harbour Place, unit 512...(it is available for rent on iTrip.net )
It's like having the best of two worlds and we love having friends and family over to enjoy time at the condo and cruising all in the same trip!
Feeding time!
It was nice to see all of the activity on the beach this early in the season. I hope this is indicative of a prosperous Summer for all!
Time to head back to the marina and things would not be the same if we didn't share the canal with a tug boat or two!
...oh how difficult it is to leave her when the weather is this beautiful!
