Sailing Memories from Kiko~

Hi Michele,

This is a great gift for Chip. I don't know how to comment on his blog but I thought you might enjoy adding these pictures from a sail we had in early 1999. The file dates say Feb. 7, 1999 but there were other files with the same date that know were different dates. My primitive digital camera at the time did not record the date taken. I think that the date is close anyway.

This was one of my best memories with Chip, sailing in the early afternoon after a meeting I had in the morning at Cape Canaveral Plant. Chip called and said "Let's go sail - Meet me at so and so place...!" An excellent idea for both of us, since he would probably have just stayed at work, and I was looking at a 3 hour drive home that I didn't mind putting off until later that night. He was keeping the boat at a friends house with a dock in the back, so there wasn't much to do but go there and sail away. We had a few beers and enjoyed the cool air of the day, sailing in the wide river south of Cape Canaveral whose name you would have to ask him for. It was a great day that didn't last long enough.

I got to sail with Chip once more from that beautiful spot, but I couldn't find any digital pictures from that trip. I think I have some printed from film. I would guess that it was just a few months later. I loved those trips, which is why I was so glad to get to finally go out with you and Chip Thanksgiving weekend on his newer craft "Christine". Another beautiful memory that you've made better with this gift. Thanks.

Love,


Kiko
