I have missed it. And the power is out again for the second time today. So wifi is down and only have mobile phone 3g. So sick of this countries incompetence. First it is the electricity, then water, and now electricity again.[emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85]
Sorry about you're electricity. When ours goes out I'm so used to convenient stuff... I automatically try to turn the light on...and the switch don't work. (Dang it) Then I wonder if it's a senior moment or what!#

That’s a sight I would love to see!. We don’t have migratory butterflies here.
Last year I saw 6 different types. Butterflies were everywhere in our city and loved our crab apple tree. It was an unusual year for butterflies. I hope they decided to stay with me. I'll bet you have something just as beautiful.

The first people that saw our house made an offer for full asking price. It is contingent on them selling their house. We did accept. We had another showing today. They thought the house was amazing and really loved our backyard, especially our tortoises. Our realtor let them know they are not negotiable. We could hear from them tomorrow. Since we have a contingency, we are still able to show our house and entertain offers.

Long day.

Out of the hotel, 3.5 hour drive south to Naples. Met up with the group, we moved to our put in location and paddled about 7 or so miles. Then, back to vehicles, south to our command post for the week.

But...in the end, it’s worth the drive:

I won't offer congratulations yet in case I jinx things, but that's great news and I hope one sale or another goes through quickly for you!!

Beautiful blue skies and crystal clear water!
I paddled in the Gulf of Mexico a bit further south of you many years ago when I was at Marco Island (on a day trip from Miami which also took in the Everglades).
I remember looking down and seeing lots of big and small fish swimming around my ankles.
Looks wonderful. I'm sure you're having a great time!

Good afternoon evening all.
A great day for the Welsh rugby team who beat Ireland this afternoon 25 -7 this afternoon to win the Triple Crown and Grand Slam titles.:)
Cardiff will be lively tonight especially with it being St Patricks Day tomorrow.
Scotland also drew with England in a brilliant game.
Weather still diabolical but supposed to be improving.
Hope everyone here is having a good, or at least tolerable, weekend so far!

Congratulations, Wales! I was wondering if you’d disappeared to watch the game. :)

“Argh, we can just watch TV....” — and I’m not supposed to have senior moments yet! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Naples... that’s where ALDABRAMAN lives I think :)

Stunning colours. I can feel the warmth :)

You must have the patience of a saint Carol!
Hope it doesn't stop you getting your work done.
It just hampered it but other than that no. It happened again from 2 to 4.30 this morning now again from 10. To 12.30 and again tonight from 18 to 20.30.[emoji85] [emoji85]
