What's Happening

This section of our website provides "current" information about where we are and what we are doing.  If you would like information about where we have been, you can go to Way Points which will provide you with (hopefully) some delightful tales and photos.   So, keep browsing!

A few things to notice throughout the website .... first, you can click on current pictures for a closer look and second, move your mouse over any picture for additional information.  For the geographically challenged like myself,  we've added a NEW feature "Current Location" in the navigation bar to the left, so just click on this link and you'll see the current position for Heart of Texas on a map.  

Update as of Thursday, February 5, 2009

    Oh my gosh ... where has the time gone and I am sure you're wondering what the heck we've been doing.  Well, a lot.  Since our last update which was May, 2008 (yeah, a long time ago), we've been doing a bit of traveling not just by sea but also by land and air.  We traveled to Deltaville, VA, and made it our home port for a bit.  This allowed us to continue our travels to Fredericksburg, VA, Viroqua, WI, Washington, DC, St. Louis, MO (twice), Orlando, FL (Disney World) and all over Scotland (the country) ... how about that pretty impressive huh!   Oh yeah, we've also done boat chores, repairs (that's a given), bought a car, got reacquainted with old friends and finally moved to Annapolis.  Whew, I am exhausted just thinking about it.  If you'd like to read and see photos about our experiences while we were in Deltaville, Virginia and Scotland just click on the links.

    Currently, we are docked in the center of historical download Annapolis, Maryland "Sailing Capital of the World".  It's a beautiful city and we have the best view.  Though we'd rather have warmer temps, we're really enjoying our stay here and that's a good thing, because we decided to return to work.  Yes, that's right ... okay, maybe Rankin is just putting me back to work.  Really, we're serious we even bought a cute little car.  So a couple of weeks ago, Rankin and I began distributing our resumes to various businesses in Annapolis and DC, so far no luck but it's still early.    In the meantime, we've been touring around town and trying to keep warm.  It's snows here ... can you believe it.  Here are a few photos of our time here in Annapolis, so far.

   Well, that's the latest happenings with the Heart of Texas, please drop us an email and let us know how you've been and what's been happening lately.  We hope everyone had a very happy holiday and hopefully this year will bring you happiness.  As always, thanks for taking the time to visit and catch up with our travels.  Please keep checking back.
