WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING?...WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Since the purchase of our 'new-to-us' Jammin Jane in late December, we have been busy moving onto, cleaning and getting to know our beautiful boat. Even more exciting though, has been all the wonderful visits we have had from both friends and family. We are staying on Anna Maria Island for the month before we move south to Marathon. This has been a great spot to relax, spend the holidays and even enjoy a couple Looper visitors.

I apologize about the lack of blogs, I ran out of data and have had some spoty wifi. But, I still make regular posts to Facebook, so please check us out there too (PS: you do NOT have to have a Facebook account, Google: Jamminjanetravels

This is the last picture of us on our old Grand Banks, it was a sad day saying goodbye to this beauty!

We have Ben's mom arriving soon and then we will be spending time with Ben's dad and stepmom before we make our way to Marathon! We are enjoying our time here in the Anna Maria/Palmetto/Sarasota area.
