Well, it has been a few years since our last post!  Alexis and I have re-entered the work force since completing the loop over two years ago.  We sold Moondance to a couple, who completed the loop themselves.  So Moondance is now a double loop veteran.  Their loop blog can be seen here: http://lilysmoondanceramblings.blogspot.com/.

We bought a 60' Jefferson Marquesas motor yacht, that was a project.  Serenity is about complete and is moored at Longboat Key Club Moorings in Longboat Key, FL.  Her refit has been taxing and costly, but she is nice and roomy, and can accommodate more grand-kids.  This is Alexis' last tax season, as she retires the end of April.  We plan to immediately set sail for the Bahamas for two months.  Stan and Claiborne and families both plan to join us there.  That is the plan-we will see!  In the interim, here are some pics of Serenity.

After completing the loop, we went into a post loop funk, as we re immersed ourselves into work.  Besides working on Serenity, and moving her from Gulf Shores to New Orleans, and then to Longboat, we have not used her much.  We have had some vicarious pleasure following loop blogs of friends, and occasionally meeting up with friends we made on our loop.  So we are looking forward to taking her to the Bahamas and who knows, maybe back up the east coast to Canada in a few years!
