Dear Shelly, Maddy, Jeffrey, and Peter,
The 10-day forecast for the Keys shows temps

Excellent sailing and snorkeling weather.
Tally Ho,

Oh yeah, leavin' tomorrow to spend eight days and seven nights traveling on a 28-foot sailboat along the Florida Keys from Plantation to Marathon and back. Two other similarly sized boats are coming along with, all told, 18 guys/gals.
Unlike the all-boys Grand Canyon trip last summer, this Bucket-List trip with my old college dorm mates has S.O's along. I've been charged by Jimmy with establishing and maintaining the bachelor's boat once we get underway. That way the guys can come over to our boat each evening for HH.
Jimmy claims he knows how to sail.
In other news, the 10K Group Training Program I direct for my running club, which program is entering its third week, made it into the Weekend Section of today's Washington Post. Here's the article. In the newspaper picture at the left (photo credit James A. Parcell For The Washington Post), all those runners stretching...I'm leading them off-camera in the stretches. Cool!
I've got to go home now and pack! Throw a bathing suit, a t-shirt and maybe some flip-flops into a bag. There's no runnin' on a 28-foot boat. See you on the backside!

Holy cow that sounds like fun. I would love to go sailing for a week! I absolutely love the ocean. Have a good trip!
Don't forget the sunscreen pale face.

Our outpost sentry now is also a Navy seal! If you need a mate I have the licence for the Coast Guard ships.
Please conquer savage lands and have mercy of the enemy. We are waiting for your glorious return. The celebrations are already planned.
That is great! Have a wonderful trip.
Hiya! Some place warm sounds fantastic - and what an adventure! I've actually gone form one cold state to another cold and cloudy country! (in london for 2 weeks)
Very cool that your running group got in the Post. Have a safe and fun trip!!
Maan! I'm ready for some of that warm water fun!
You certainly take some wonderful trips with your friends. Can't wait to read all about it, as it sounds like it'll be quite the adventure, especially with you in charge of the bachelor pad. Bring back lots of gorgeous photos.
And congrats on the great coverage in the paper.
