() We leave the slip here in Stuart for the Abacos tomorrow where we'll stay for a month and then up to the Chesapeake and put her back on the market with a good local broker. Kenzie an Robin at Dreamcatcher are house sitting for Boo. Funny to see this big dog that's half wolf and a 100 years old cat act interact. They actually enjoy each others company.
