Problems along the way !!

For the one or two of you who are actually reading this blog, we want to tell you why we haven't updated it in a while. Mainly, our new computer that we bought just for this trip decided to die a sudden and early death. Since we bought it at CompUSA in Knoxville and it is still under warranty, we wanted to use the warranty benefit. We soon discovered that finding a CompUSA store while you are on a boat with no internet access can be a challenge. I finally had to resort to calling Mike Jr. in Tennessee and asked him to crank up his computer and find us a CompUSA store near where we are in Florida. He did that, and after a bit of hassle, the computer is fixed.

We are presently docked at the marina at Patrick Air Force Base in Cocoa Beach, FL. We have been here for a few days, and will stay here until at least next Monday.

I promise we will post an update to this blog soon. Unfortunately, when the computer died we lost all of the pictures we had taken up to that point, but we will have pictures again with our updates. Note to self: BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER !!

More later. Mike and Pat
