Having almost escaped their gilded cage in 2004 Bob and Connie are determined to give it one last shot.
Aboard their insanely well built Cabo Rico 38, Meredith, they once again seek to prove to themselves they are vital alive people.
What follows is what has happened so far. Failure is not an option in their second and final effort. This is the final voyage. Failure will result in Bob and Connie giving up their lives - and taking up shopping. Sort of a Walmart version of Winston Smith (you know - 1984, George Orwell, Liberty Gin, that sort of thing).
As you can tell Bob, at least, is quite cocky. This page may change after the Budget Committee has a read, but for now ...
The tools with which they have armed themselves:
1. "Meredith", a very sea kindly vessel, named after a little known Welsh goddess (unless you are Welsh), who was the "Protectress from the Seas". Bob and Connie need a lot of help and a cranky Welsh goddess may well keep them in line and in good health.
2. The illusion of competence.
3. A cynical and impish (but mainly cynical) disapproval of just about everything around them.
4. Only half a clue of what they are getting themselves into.
Hope the writing improves and the story gets better. Photos will come. So far we are just happy to have the site off the ground.
