Woody…as I mentioned below, I haven’t been on this site for a long time, and I get two blasts from the past in the same weekend. Ah, I’ve been retired for quite a while, but still busy with the boats and dogs and wife up here in Annapolis. Haven’t been to the Keys in quite a while…I take that back…flew down with a Midshipman we sponsored over his Spring Break last year…and drove back with a bunch of wood and supplies we had left! (Though my wife’s mother is still in KW…my only connection there still.)
As they say, what have you been up to since…? Hope all is good…and getting better!

Hello Monk, I hope you are all well. As my three boys are starting to go off to college and begin their own adventures, the wife and I are considering a Med Cruise that will depart Greece onboard something with less than 26 pax and end up in the Straits of Malacca, otherwise during my days onboard the USS Midway; the narrows. Any thoughts, ideas or recommendations sir? Stay well sir, best to you and the misses. Fair winds and following seas to you both.

Good day! The past rises up to reach out once again. As you can see, I have not been a very active writer on this site…but then we haven’t been doing much sailing either. Been there, done that, and I ain’t 40 no more. Sounds like an interesting cruise. I’ve sailed some (not on Mistress) off Turkey and the Agean…even went through the canal of Corinth…but never through the Suez. I am assuming you are on a power/cruise ship…even if you have options of destinations, I don’t have much to suggest. Though the bread and produce we got in Marmaris Turkey was the best I’ve ever had. Does the cruise end in Singapore?
Have a great time…must I don’t miss floating around the North Arabian Sea! And thanks for your wishes…all is good indeed.

My Monkey, I am home!. And, I was worried about if you were well again. Please apologize to TuTu for my lapse in judgment. Not a good friend in that way. You sounded so helpless and ill, it just made me somewhat crazy. I hope you are better and that life is A-OK. Watched a good friend of mine from NASA bring the Pegasus (carrying the Artemis for launch) through the canals at NO. It was exciting excepting I MUST buy him a tripod!! Ha Ha! I’m so lucky to know all of you!! You take care, Precious, and once again, some time, punch a hole in the sky for me! And, speak with me about bringing about six of my friends on a short cruise! My treat!
Love ya always, and her, too!

His time is now mostly dedicated to the joy, and blissfull happiness he intimately shares with his very intelligent, humorous,feisty, and extremely beautiful future “bride”. Monk is often heard muttering’ I don’t know what I did but it would appear God does not dislike me as much amd maybe even approves!
