The Progression of a horrible Foot Wound

If you've read my previous posts, you already know that we had to prematurely leave Key West a couple of months ago due to a calcaneus fracture (her heel broke in two) that Tami developed after falling off a ladder.  But what was a complicated enough issue to begin with, turned very complicated when she (as best they can figure) seemed to have had an allergic reaction...

It was Hard to Leave.....

When we left on February 10th, it was difficult.  Partly because we knew Tami had a pretty long road of rehab ahead of her (even without the reaction she developed).  Also, it was the first time the boat's been alone since November 4th when Tami and Justin pulled up and set up shop.  And it makes us worry.  We've heard a bad storm rolled through a month ago and had winds somewhere between 50 and 60 knots.  As a result, one of our canvas covers....

The story behind the Name and Logo

Even before we purchased our boat, we had boat names swirling around and would often bump different names off each other in an effort to try and find the perfect boat name.  We had seriously considered Wet Dreams, and almost went with it, but at the last minute we changed our minds.  Justin even wanted to go with something ridiculous like Breaking Wind, or Sofa King Bad Ass (well, that one might have been mine).  After I did a quick search on boat names, it was the consensus....

Video - The last 5 months of Renovation

This video takes a look back on the last 5 months of renovation and repairs that have taken place in Key West aboard Catchin' Rays. Although this isn't the most perfect recording in the world, and the footage was edited as best I could from our location here in Texas, I'm going to go ahead and post it anyway....

Learning how to operate the sound editing software from Audacity has been a challenge....it has a whole bunch of features that I'll never know how to use.

And my studio has been here in room #207 in the LTAC (long term acute care) facility that Tami has been in for weeks now.....its hard to record a narration when you have nurses paging other nurses through the intercom system.  And the people in the room above us seem to feel the need to scoot a chair across the floor at the most inopportune moment.  Or the patient down the hall that thinks yelling "HEY!!" every 10 seconds for hours on end will somehow make all his problems disappear - the microphone picks it all up....wah wah wah...hope you enjoy the video.
