Spring Break in St. John



Nathan came with his buddy, Eddie on Sunday. His other buddy, Mark and Mark's Dad, Lorne arrived on Tues. We cooked almost all dinners here at the house. They helped set up and cleaned up. Lots of drinking and laughing. these guys have been friends since 6th grade. The four of them stayed just down the hill from us at a friend's house. she rents it out short term and gave the guys a great deal. They went to the beach several times and went diving on the Friday before they left.
Nathan will soon be looking for a job as a tender on some 900 ft. boat that goes "who knows where". The tenders work on deck and help the divers. He will probably will do this for about a year before they will hire him as a diver. He is looking in the gulf. his girlfriend, Laura, will be coming for graduation, as we will, in JAX the end of June. i'm really excited for Nathan as this is the first success he has had in his life in any kind of school setting.
Work is going well. Just saw the boss today and he wants me to help keep inventory and do the calendar for everyone's work schedule. He doesn't have time and the manager is hand writing it and has no computer on board her 54' vessel. The manager, patty, sweet, is 62 and looking to retire and get off the boat and onto their house in ST. Croix this year. May need help out here with my "techie" skills.
We are going to DTW on June 26 and coming back her on July 5. Herb and Kathy, what are you doing during that period?
Dinner dishes call.
luv,
