We ended 2012 with the decision to place our home in Louisiana on the market and make the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area our home base! We spent the prior two years commuting between Louisiana and Alabama every week due to my work schedule of seven days on and seven days off. Anticipation was living in the Wharf Marina and we were determined to spend as much time enjoying her as possible!<br />

We were excited and shocked at the same time that our home sold in less than two weeks! Decisions needed to be made relatively quick at this point and the search for our new home began! Thankfully, we have a great friend in the real estate industry right where we need her and Carla Weeks joined our search for the perfect place.<br />

We decided on a condo with a boat slip to allow more time on Anticipation rather than spending the time it takes to maintain a home, yard, etc!</div>

I continued working and we continued the commute each week until the end of March; by the end of April we were in our new home, renovation complete and ready to be settled in our own place again! It was a long four months but we are excited and very pleased with our decision to make the move! We are still in the settling process, storage being our biggest challenge to overcome but we will work it out eventually!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile we are enjoying life! Most mornings we have coffee on the balcony and watch the river come to life and cocktails in the evening to watch the sunset!<br />

My Nursing colleagues are very dear to me...every now and then we take a few days to kick back, relax, and let loose! We leave our nursing stations, our patients, and doctors behind...and shake off a bit of stress! No beeping IV machines, no laboring Moms or epidurals to monitor, and no crying babies! </div>

Then it happened...the almost vintage 9 horse Johnson sputtered and died...literally...despite the relentless resuscitation efforts of my dear husband...<br />
<br />
Thankfully the marina was close by and Eddie was able to come to the rescue before SeaTow was dispatched!<br />
<br />
Sparing all the traumatizing details, our little motor was laid to rest and it was a sad time but life will go on!<br />

With the dinghy now "safely" back in the slip...another long story ;-) we set out to join the gang at Shuckers. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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.

While we have enjoyed this time tremendously, I must admit we are missing our time with Anticipation and really look forward to Spring time and sunshine!<br />
<br />
Jimmy has made a few short road trips for the necessary maintenance during my work week and to take care of a couple of small projects. We did sneak in a couple of days mid January when Joan & Mike arrived at the condo for the winter to enjoy a visit with them over lunch. We took Anticipation out for a short cruise the following day before heading home, and as short as it was we enjoyed being out with her once again. <br />
<br />
Bring on the sunshine, we are ready to spend time with our family and friends on the water!<br />
<br />
Until then I wish everyone Joy and Laughter overflowing!Anticipation: Cruising with the Bowershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14336802156100338619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016910060501189229.post-84716861435817177722011-11-27T19:52:00.002-08:002012-03-24T14:48:51.899-07:00Thanksgiving<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We spent our second Thanksgiving in Orange Beach together with Reece & Scarlett.

<div style="text-align: center;">Jimmy & I shuttled everyone back to shore then returned to Fort McRee and anchored out for the night! It was a great night and the water tapped gently against Anticipation as we drifted off to sleep!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For those who know me well this next event will be difficult to believe. However, I promise to tell the truth!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Jimmy woke during the night and quietly left the state room careful not to wake me...a few hours later he returned to bed and snuggled in...not anything unusual you might say. We drifted into a wonderful sleep once again...then, just before daybreak the most remarkable thing happened....I was lying in bed wide awake! Unable to sleep, I slipped out of bed, slipped on something warm, grabbed the camera and went out to watch the sunrise! Now that is incredible...me watching the sunrise, the Queen of sleeping in!!!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was another great week in the Bower life! The combination of cruising with Anticipation, time at the condo, and great friends made for a wonderful week. The drive over was peaceful and the Suburban was jam packed as usual. Tuesday was a day for accomplishments, new anchor chain was installed, a little housekeeping was done, a bit of decor adjustment and all is well!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We were finally in town (Orange Beach) for one of the wine dinners put on by local restaurant owners. This one was at Zen Restaurant on the corner of Hwy 161 and Perdido Beach Blvd. We met a couple in the parking lot; Busha & Dave...turns out Busha babysits for the restaurant owners and one of the chefs. What a character! We shared a dinner table with them and laughed the entire time! Dinner was fine, wine was great, and the laughter was priceless! The wine dinner concept was interesting and I look forward to doing it again sometime. Check out Villaggio Grille, Ginny Lane Bar & Grill, Zen Restaurant, and Elli Bistro on line for dates and details, they usually have something happening every month!</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's Friday!!! With great friends aboard we took Anticipation out for a short run to the new Tacky Jacks accross from Lulu's for an array of appetizers and a couple of Rum drinks :-)<br />

Over the next few weeks we became acquainted with Tim; a local mechanic who is very knowledgeable when it comes down to all of the little details and quirks we encounter as we get to know Anticipation. We will likely put him on speed dial just for comfort!<br />
<br />
The Wharf Marina is very nice and comfortable, staff are friendly and helpful...It's starting to feel like home. We enjoy meeting our neighbors and it is great to meet the network of friends Jimmy already has established here. Our time with Anticipation is precious and it remains difficult to leave at the end of each week. However, we do look forward to our time with family and friends back at our land based home.<br />
<br />
Just when we think our life will start to settle down and relaxation will prevail our social life kicks into high gear! A wedding here, conference there, cruising with precious family, and another wedding all wrapped up into one very short week! Whew!!!<br />
<br />
My son married the girl of his dreams...they are now one big happy family...not quite the Brady bunch but full of love for each other anyway :)<br />

We spent our last night at Seabrooke Marina in New Orleans where Anticipation had a little paint and pampering done to her bottom.<br />

Tuesday August 30, 2011<br />
We head out of New Orleans East bound through our Louisiana waterways. Enjoying the beauty and serenity along the way. My mind is flooded with childhood memories of spending time on the Mississippi when dad was a river boat Captain...all so long ago. I must admit that I never expected to be able to enjoy this lifestyle on the water and I am so thankful to be a part of this wonderful dream come to life with my husband. I am amazed at how compatible we are...and look forward to many years with Anticipation!<br />

Just before sunset we arrive at Pass Christian Yacht Harbor where we will spend the night. So far in this journey we somehow manage to be a little too busy to kick back and enjoy the setting sun completely...no worries! Our time is coming!<br />
<br />
With confidence we put Anticipation into the dock slip (yes I am proud of myself for being comfortable as 1st mate!)<br />
<br />
More friends come by to greet and welcome us into the "boating community"...or should I say "family". I am starting to realize that boaters are very special people and more than willing to go the extra mile to assist in any way!<br />

Fueled up at Point Cadet, it was quite convenient; David and .... Were very helpful and the tiny store was packed full of fishing stuff, caps, and T-shirts...yes we left with a few goodies!<br />

Wait let's back up a little...we stop to take care of necessary things, shut the generator and engine down in order to hear the macerator...clear things out...umm...generator will not start! Did I mention it was another hot day? Therefore, no spending time cooling off inside! Still no worries just more time spent together. <br />
<br />
Cruising right along and all of a sudden I look over to port side and see two dolphins swimming in our wake! I was able to get a couple of cool shots and video clips, they are amazing and fun to watch.<br />

</div>Monday August 15th, we unloaded many of the previous owner items and loaded her up with our personal belongings. Mid-August in South Louisiana...the temperatures are close to triple digit, combined with the humidity levels and we were almost to the point of melting. Hot as it may be, we were ready to discover all there is to know about her as we prepare for the first leg of journey...As we worked diligently to get everything in it's place, the sunset grabbed our attention as always so we paused for a minute as if to pay tribute to Anticipation's final sunset in Morgan City.<br />
<br />

Tuesday August 16th, we were hoping to get an early start...Scarlett and Bonnie B. arrived bright and early to taxi us off to Morgan City...well, 2pm and we are underway, heading to New Orleans, LA where Anticipation will have her bottom cleaned, painted, and waxed!<br />

However, we were having the time of our lives. Within the first hour of getting underway we were going through the first of four locks and a couple of bridges! Needless to say, I was a bit intimidated at first but all is well and I am no longer intimidated by locks or bridges! Jimmy is not only a wonderful husband but a great Captain and gentle instructor also!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of our trip from Morgan City to New Orleans. It was a priceless time. Jimmy and I enjoyed being together creating more wonderful memories...<br />
