Boats Around the World

We love boats. We love to sail on small ones, and we enjoy cruising around the world on the larger ships. Looking back over all the scrapbooks we've compiled of our travels, we were surprised to realize how much boats have been a part of our lives.

Here's a sampling of our adventures on rivers and lakes and oceans around the world. We hope you enjoy them, but don't get seasick!

Awesome pix, Bob. What an exciting and interesting life you and Pat have led!

Barbara and I visited Honfleur during our recent trip to Normandie. It was one of our favorite places.

the third one just got older
You note that 2 of the 3 kids are now older than mom since she's out of the country for her birthday, and we all know it doesn't count if you're not home. Trying to just keep track of all this travel, far from actually doing it, just pushed me over the edge!
