As many of you have read we went out on a limb late last year and purchased a bigger boat. It has all the luxuries of home..air conditioning, central vac, an in house dish washer (me), and at this point I think we have 4 grills. We have done some short trips. Gone to numerous restaurants. Slept over with our awesome Tobay friends almost every weekend, and Gregory launched the girls dingy this past weekend.
We have crab traps, clam rakes, boogie boards, and Mommy's very own floating lounge (still in box). We watch movies on the beach on giant "screens" aka sheets and hand out glow sticks like they are going out of style. We dine at our two very own restaurants and play at the water park and newly installed mini-golf. We celebrate birthdays and all watch out for each others kids. I have made a number of new friends, but have also rekindled friendships from long ago and solidified casual acquaintances, now to be some of my go-to people. We really are a family - of course there is some MAJOR dysfunction, but what good family is void of that?
Along with all the fun does come some sad...we had the unfortunate experience this week of having someone lose a child. He was 22 years old and happened to be hit by a car while walking on the shoulder of a road in Suffolk County. I never met him, but know his parents. My heart breaks for Snug As A Bug and their family. One thing is for certain, their Tobay family will be there for them, cause that is just how it goes down at the beach.
REST IN PEACE E.F.
MAY GOD HELP YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU
Sounds like you are building amazing memories!!

Sorry to hear of the loss your friends suffered. There is much to be said for the strength that you gain from friends.
