Hi Ron,

Small world isn't it? Our boat is at Serendipity
Bay, so you may have even seen it while you were
there. How do you like Kemah, and why did you move?

We left Palacious on Labor day of 2004. We were in
slip 53 2/3 rds of the way down the center dock.

We left for two reasons. To explore a different area
and because my 83 year old dad lives in Houston.

Services are a lot easier to come by in Kemah--bottom
cleaning, AC service, diesel repair. One 4th of July,
we had to wait a day to get an Aussie mechanic to
clean the rust off of our starter motor. Nice guy
named Chris, but he worked on tractors not boats.

The people at Serendipity were friendly. Have you
met the deaf South African who solo'd around the
world in a Tartan 38? There's also a canadian
couple who bought a twin Tartan 38 from another
couple who had just sailed around the world.

It surprised me there were such serious sailors
in such a backwater town. Palacios has the
highest unemployment in the state of Texas.
