Veterans Day

On Guy's daily trek down to the Port, he came back all excited to have spotted

a new USCG replacement for the 41'. He believes that civilian personnel were

out testing it....and who is going to contradict that story? This on the other hand is pure fact....

It is the USNS Wally Schirri new supply ship.

689' long

106' beam

30' draft

20 knots

Commissioned in March 2009

It is so massive, we can see it from our kitchen window ...

At night when lite, it looks like a small city...

This is the JROTC at Cocoa Beach High School

with presentation of colors on Veterans Day...

Ceremony was very touching and brought a tear or

two to Guy's eye....

Meanwhile, I was at the Welcome Back Lunch Bunch Luncheon

at Cocoa Village. There were only 10 of us....

Most of the snowbirds won't arrive until after

the Holidays....

Carolyn and her sister Heather joined us for Happy Hour

at our Condo this evening. The girls are visiting from

Chateauguay, Montreal, PQ for a meeting....they will be moving

back down after Christmas with their husbands.
