Thanksgiving...Timeout 2 Think Thanks

Bob has Pilgrim blood.  Specifically on his mother's line, he goes directly back to Mary Hathaway, Richard Warren and Francis Cooke, being an 8th great-grandson.  Bob's father's line goes back directly to the first baby Pilgrim, Peregrine White...who was born on board the Mayflower while it lay at anchor (before the Plymouth Colony had any buildings).  Bob is also a direct descendant of Priscilla Mullins and John Alden.  Why, he should probably be standing president of the Mayflower Society. 

Gratitude is filling me up this Thanksgiving...for past family, as I go through old photos, but mostly for present family...  Here's some photos of our authentic Florida celebration:

Now it's time to get serious about Holiday Treats:  We get to sail with J.P. and Jan!  A great wind takes us to the far reaches of J.P.'s watery kingdom.

The rest of the crew ties the lines in clever knots, until J.P. explains we won't be able to come about.  H.B. gets things in order.
