Google searches & Sunsets
On our site here I have a tool called site meter. I added it as I like to see where our readers are located. It's nice to see a family member, who even though we don't keep in touch as much as we should, still pops in about once a week to read the blog. Thanks Kathy, I know your there. The site meter also tracks the referral that sent that person to our site. I know quite a bit of people that stumble on our site did so because they googled something and then were directed to our site for say "nav pod installation". I know I write about the new items we install on Tybee Time but I don't go into a lot of detail on the how's. Sometimes I feel I would bore a reader too much with too many details. Alas I feel I am boring readers until we make that cut from land and I can finally write with excitement about our travels and destinations. Hang in there readers, those days will come... I just want to say that if any readers have questions regarding the how's of any projects please feel free to leave a comment under the post with your question or you can e-mail us in the address provided in the upper left hand portion of the blog. Also we love getting comments and would love to get more. I wanted to provide a photo and the only ones I took this weekend was a sunset I happened to catch.This was taken from the cockpit overlooking the marina. What a beautiful sky. Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend and we have four days to relax and enjoy it. Here's hoping the weather is beautiful as we plan on anchoring out at Shell Island for a few days. Perhaps I will capture a decent video to let our readers see what a bit of our life is like on Tybee Time.

About Us
Dirk was born and raised in Hamburg Germany. He moved to the states when he was seventeen and a couple years later joined the Army. His 23 years in the military took him all over the world to many a location. In January of 2007 he retired and is now an instructor of blackhawk systems at Fort Rucker Alabama. As for myself, I was born in Philadelphia, PA and raised in the small town of Natchitoches Louisiana. I spent most of my time in and around photography. Starting off in small 1 hour labs printing, working as an assistant for photographers, and finally found myself as a photographic retouch artist. In June we moved aboard and began prepping Tybee Time for our eventual departure. November 2, 2009 we will began our travels down the west coast of Florida. From there we plan to head to the Bahamas, eventually finding our way heading down south to the Caribbean. We will be bringing Butters our cat with us on the journey as crew.
I'm a blog lurker! I love reading your posts, and I share them with the sail-boat fanatics around the office, too.
