We are finally organizing the Airplane tickets and the Travels for July Wedding. For my Brother and his wife it is the first trip to USA from Korea so we are going to show them around. After the Wedding in NH we will go to the Niagara Falls and we will come down to Caribbean with them. My brother is really keen about the fishing. We hope that we catch a lot of fish.

We had a Ladies Sailors Lunch yesterday. About 22 ladies attended. It was great since there are all kinds of level of sailors and we listen to each other’s experiences. I met with one of the most experienced Sailers. She said that the longer the journey in the Ocean, she has the better time. They have crossed the Pacific to New Zealand. She is also talking about spiritual experience too. It is awesome to hear her experiences in the Ocean and fighting with Water.

Since we had family guests for a while, we did not have the usual dinner with our cruising friends. We invited Kokopelli,Mizzy and Brian for a Korean Barbeque dinner. And we spent a lot of time together. They are really likable friends. Brian is an Architect and very socially talkative and Mizzy is very exciting person. We will try to go to Colombia together in November. They are planning to spend about three years in the Pacific.

It is Canival week in St. Maarten. The blasting music shakes your chest and girls dancing in colorful customs! Everybody enjoys the excitement and the joyful ambiance.

We are planning and making reservations for July Wedding. We organized to go to NY on 4th of July and on to NH. The Wedding will be at the Bride’s Parents Country House on the lake. We are staying with Litto and Harry, our neighbors in NYC on the 4th of July night. Their apartment is on the same floor as our Apartment. Our apartment is rented while our trip so we are homeless. We have to get the Tuxedo and Cloths from the basement storage in our building. It will also be nice to have a dinner with Litto and Harry they are good friends and neighbors.

We have met Yvette and Mark at Dinghy Dock special $5 steak dinner night. When they came to our boat for a dinner, they really enjoyed Korean Barbeque dinner. Marc said that it was the best meal ever on the boat. We will see them in the South.

I have been painting early mornings and when it gets hot and throw myself into the Ocean. It is so refreshing! I met a person who plans to cruise one year only this time. She is ready to go home this week. I asked her what she will miss the most from cruising, she said to jump into the Ocean whenever she wants to.

All of us enjoyed the swimming and celebrate the Mike’s birthday in the Mexican restaurant. Cynthia and Mike are going to Puerto Rico and buy a Country House there and we will be the neighbours together!
