Bob T Back And Dang Near Broke

I’m back . . . . . . . and dang near broke from diesel prices. I paid $4.90 a gallon for one tank at a station in South Carolina named “El Cheapo”. In my wildest dreams I never thought I’d see a gas station by that name. I spent Memorial Day touring the houses by the battery in old Charleston. What a beautiful place! There were masses of boats out on the bay that day. It was a perfect day for sailing.

I dropped down to Ft Pierce FL for a few days to see Cousin Doug. If anyone is interesting in the subject of treasure hunting check out his site. He’s living the life many dream of living. A kid searching for (and in his case finding) buried treasures. He’s currently taking a break for a Sea Turtle project. I hope pictures really do add weight because I had no idea I looked that plump. Diet time.

Thanks to all who sent condolences for our loss. It was appreciated. You’re a great crowd.


Oh, by the way. While down there a guy a few miles down the beach off FT Pierce was scuba diving alone . . . . . . . way out in the ocean with a line tied to his small boat. He came up to find the boat gone and nothing at the end of his rope. The Coast Guard plucked him out of the water the next day 9 North miles from where he started. He needs a sign.
