Annie Wxill - 28 Jul 2006 21:41 GMT Here we are in Wilmington, N.C. (U;S.A.) with Pam S. and Rob onboard Genesis. Cinder has shown her approval of the catnip snakes Pam made for her and Rosie. While Cinder is 'nipped out, Rosie has reserved her comments. Pam says Julie is right that we should take a lot of time to visit. We've been at it all day and Pam and Rob are spending the night, so no telling what we'll be able to report by tomorrow morning. A pelican provided an event Pam and I found amusing when it flew overhead and decorated Jim & Rob, who were standing on the deck. After hosing off their respective heads and clothes, they came under cover and sat in the wind to dry off
Pam here. we're having a good time here getting to know Annie, Jim, and the owners. cinders has been making herself known to us, but Rosie has been hiding out in our future sleeping place in the bow of the boat. The cruising family has outdid themselves in making us welcome and we are talking a mile a minute. I'll write more when I get my seat back on dry land. I'd wish you were here, but there wouldn't be enough room for the rest of us,

Some of my favorite people I've never met, meeting is one of my favorite parts of the world.
Blessings, good wishes, purrs, and more than a little envy winging your way.

I don't think Pam has, either, but she can speak for herself. I suspect that most people on this group take more than a little pride in not being normal. This is one thing I love about this group.

Oops, maybe you better as Rob's family, they're more normal than mine is. We had a great time, and Rob says that my cat friends are his kind of people.

You know you were welcome to come on down when we were in Texas. If we don't catch you on this trip, maybe we can work something out when we get back. I can't promise to have Pam and Rob along, though. They really are a lot of fun, too.

Cinder has shown her approval of the catnip snakes Pam made for [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Annie & Jim, crew for Rosie & Cinder > Pam & Rob, landlubbers aboard Genesis <VBG> I just knew the four of you would hit it off. I could have spent hours visiting with Annie and Jim when we met. We had so much to talk about and it felt like we'd known each other forever. Although I've never met Pam and Rob, whenever I call Pam I settle in for an hour long conversation because we always have something to talk about. I was pretty sure that she would feel the same way about Annie and Jim that I did and add to that Jim and Rob having helicopter experience....well...I suspect Rosie and Cinders will be the only ones sleeping tonight.
I finally found my camera charger and even found the USB cable to connect the camera to the computer so I have uploaded the picture that we had made when Annie and Jim were visiting. We met for lunch at a Greek restaurant nearby, which hopefully explains the statue and the flags. The picture can be found with Lacey's pelican picture from the 2004 Mouser voyage. Surely she wasn't involved in the 'pooping' of Jim and Rob! The picture can be found at:

Nice to put faces to names. And yes the statue with flags is better with explanation.

I hope we can get to see one ofyour races.Yes, that was the guilty pelican in question. I could pick it from anylineup of pelicans. And, its aim was perfect. It got both guys and part ofthe deck with a saturation bombing effect.I could not tell if Lacey was at the helm or not.Annie, crew for Rosie & Cinder

They're both incredible people. Can you tell both Rob and I like them?

Hi Marina, If we sail far enough to meet you, it will be on a huge cruise ship. More likely, it would be by plane. I'd love to see your island, too, and the cats, of course.
And, you are welcome to come to the U.S.

That sounds great. If I did this I would get motion sick, but I hope Pam and Rob are all right. :)
Annie Wxill - 29 Jul 2006 18:57 GMT > That sounds great. If I did this I would get motion sick, but I hope > Pam and Rob are all right. :) Hi Tak, We are tied to a dock. We aren't entirely still, but we are relatively so. Pam and Rob are fine. I'm sure you would be, too. I don't know how close we'll be, but we will be headed your direction next spring. You would be welcome to come check us out. Annie, crew for Rosie & Cinder

Not only was it peaceful, but I didn't need to read to relax. You really should try it sometime. Nice.
