A few more conference calls, then back on the water

Well, we hid from the heat yesterday and enjoyed this nice Campground, and the shade.  It also gave a chance for my wife and daughter to come up and hang out with us for a late lunch and dinner, which was wonderful.   I was overjoyed to see them for a bit.

We haven't talked about it much, but both Joe and I work remotely from our companies. That means that we have had to take calls, participate in conference calls, give presentations, respond to email and other work questions, etc.   I've been working nights to keep up with my work, since I tend to work best at night anyway.    An office among the chipping crickets, and under the moon and star lite has been great, even inspiring.   Working remotely is a privilege, so we cannot let our work slip, we've both been taking time to work.

 That brings us to now, Wednesday morning. Its going to be hot again today, so we should be getting an early start, but we aren't. why? Concalls. Both of us had calls this morning, which required active participation and screen sharing. Not so easy while underway.   We're also in the middle of a National Wildlife Refuge, not a big 3G area, the  Great Blue Herons are not yet an AT&T target market. We are on an Edge network  (2G) which has been stable, but we didn't want to test how stable it is while underway.   So, we sit here on concalls in the nice cool morning, to get underway in the hot afternoon.
