Day 38 - The Admiral is Back

The admiral is back after spending a week in Oklahoma for a family reunion.  Here are a few pictures from her adventures:

The Gould Clan!
Terry and her sister, Christy.  According to Terry, she is the Good sister (see T-shirt)!
 

Beautiful Sunrise on Terry's last morning in Oklahoma!

 
While the Admiral was out playing the Captain slaved away on boat projects.  But I did manage to get to a few movies.  In fact the day after Terry returned we had an easy day that included seeing the movie "Internship."  My second viewing and it was still great! 
 
Today we visited the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and Winter's Dolphin Tale Adventure. It included a Trolley shuttle between locations and a boat shuttle to return.  The boat shuttle stop is very close to our boat so we have been watching the tourists go back and forth for over a week now and finally decided we should check it out.  The Aquarium is the home of Winter who is the star of the movie Dolphin Tale.  One interesting tidbit learned today was that the prosthetic industry was changed as a result of creating a tail for Winter.  They had to protect Winter's skin and so created a gel cover that would protect the skin while still providing a surface that the apparatus could be attached.  This same gel material has been used for humans with great results!
