I got back to Splendid yesterday. It is Soooo nice to be home.
Sam and I met her possible paternal father the other evening for dinner, it went really well. He is a really nice guy, really! He has been really open to this whole thing and interested in finding out if he is indeed Sam’s biological father. They did the home DNA kit after dinner and we will know the results in 3-5 days. in the picture they are swabbing their cheeks to get DNA samples. For his sake he should hope it comes back negative. He’s an amazing cabinet maker and if he is in the family I’m going to hit him up on helping me re-design Splendid’s master cabin. Sam and my bed is basically a single, it’s really a tight sleeping arrangement and only one of us can be on our back at the same time. It really is a “must fix” as sleeping can be tough in the heat. My plans are to widen the port birth, or take them both out and put in a center queen. I’m also going to build a nav-station and put in some extra drawers and cabinets. We have a lot of wasted space in the aft cabin and need more storage.
I’ve got some small projects going on today. Tomorrow I’m finishing up the WIFI install here at Beach Marine, and the following day I have an appointment at the Mayo clinic to have them check out my knee. It’s really been flaring up lately.
Anyway, thats it 4 today. Happy Sunday
Sail far and live slowly.

Darrin,
Don’t know if we are going to Bahamas or straight to VI’s. I’m thinking I want the girls to Fly into PR as I’d like to do the first “shake down” cruise alone. I’ll be off to Colombia by next June from the VI’s or Further South. If I have the money I want to haul Splendid in Colombia to have the hull sprayed. I’d like to meet up with you before that so we could finish our project??? After that it will be chartering and relaxing in the San Blas for a long stint!!!
Hey the new site upgrades are great!!! I love that you got Coopers on board too!! Good luck at the clinic, they are the best, (spent time there with dad). They catch alot of fish over at the Pier, at the beaches, been there? There is a great bar there too owned by the relatives of Leonard Skynard (sp) band members.
Cold up in Mich. , Dean
