Just back from the USA and the Salty John elves are very busy shipping the goods ordered whilst we were away and generally getting things up and running again.
Here’s a picture of an eagle constructed entirely from car bumpers. I don’t know why anyone would do such a thing but it looks pretty cool. It’s located at the entrance to the Watergate marina complex on Clear Lake, Texas, where we kept a boat for a time.
Not many people know this but Galveston Bay is the third biggest yachting centre in the USA, after Annapolis and San Diego. Clear Lake, in the northwest corner of Galveston Bay, has a huge number of marinas catering to weekend sailors and a thriving live aboard community.
It was a sunny 30ºC when we left Florida and a numbing 5ºC when we landed at Manchester. Oh well.
