Marriage at Sea (well almost)

Well I haven't updated this in a while so I will let everyone know about a few things. First we have been doing a lot of sailing around Galveston Bay. Trying some new navigation software programs for backup. Both Polar Navy and Open CPN (open captain) work great. Polar Navy has a small cost but well worth it. Then Open CPN is free so you know that is worth it when you are are on a cruising budget. Both work well with all the free raster and enc charts you can download from NOAA.

In March I became an ordained Minister through the Universal Life Monastery so I can legally marry couples on Barefoot Babe. I performed my first wedding April 30th 2011 on the bow of Barefoot Babe. The couple requested "Nautical Vows" which I wrote and they approved. Elaine decorated the boat for the wedding. The wedding was performed at the dock so the couples friends and family could be there. A small reception was held on the pier and then we sailed off for an overnight sail.
