Captain America

Our good friend Grant from East London recently had the privilege of pledging the oath, after which he received his American citizenship. A few of us had a little bbq to celebrate this milestone.
Being a yacht captain his new nickname among the South African friends are "Captain America". Hopefully it'll soon be my turn - can't wait to get that little blue passport.

Road Trip to Homossassa!

Labor Day Weekend the Ninnemans and us Bouwers headed to the West Coast of Florida, the area North of Tampa where it is all rustic and quiet - away from the city.
Anyplace North of the Northern boundaries of Miami-Dade is fine with us, and this area - the ancient hunting grounds of some of Florida's first inhabitants - is as good as it gets in terms of natural beauty.
The idea was to go camping, kayaking, and exploring the area, and we sure did "rough it" (See breakfast picture on the left)!




Below are some pictures of the three areas in the region we visited: Homossassa, Rainbow Springs, and Silver Springs.

Dodging The Bullet

Hurricane Ike grafted a path accross the lenght of Cuba, barely missing South-Florida.

On Monday and Tuesday we did get some terrific gusts of wind and rain, the remnants of the tail.
