What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

34 years ago today I was 23 years old and getting married. The weather was the same except it was sunny. Looking at the video you would have thought it was a June day.

Today is 23 for me! The weather is a little bit warmer than it was 23 years ago, but not ridiculous!

We share an anniversary? I thought yours was yesterday?

My birthday is tomorrow.
 
I thought yours was the 30th some reason. Well happy early birthday! Give me a moment to do the math, I went to public school, if you were 44 yo when you got married and you have been married 23 years that makes you 67years young! :zany-face:, 10 years older than me or at least until next month.
 
Hey guys.

I'm off the ship and in my hotel now. My flights back home are not until late tomorrow. I had a great time on my cruise, but it was so shaky that everyone was throwing up. It was disgusting. Luckily, I didn't get sea sick, but the crew put barf bags everywhere, and they were almost all gone within 24 hours. On the last 2 days of the cruise, I caught a nasty cold. I just stayed in bed . I'm feeling a little better today, but not much.

Glad you are feeling better, that sucks getting sick on a cruise. What Islands did you do excursions? Has your neighbor given you an update on your tank?

I did one excursion on their private island in the Bahamas where I snorkeled.

My neighbor hasn't gone back up to check, but I have now raised the temperature to 73.5.
 
I haven’t gotten to that part yet, re-watching the first half of season five. I did hear he was killed, unfortunately. My understanding is he was done with the show and didn’t want to keep doing it. Good news is it has been confirmed that a spin off based on Beth and Rip is coming. We have been crossing paths a lot over the past couple of days. Welcome to our family!
Wait he dies!?!?!?!? I'm only on season 3.....

Jk Kevyo!

I was 20 when I got married. So almost 67 years young!
