Middle of the Florida Keys
December 25, 2013 Wednesday
Weather: Gray and overcast with light drizzle in the morning! Expected to clear up later this morning. Temps - 70 - 85 degrees. Winds ESE 8 to 12 gusting to 20 knots.
Subject: Merry Christmas! How we celebrated Christmas Eve!
We strung small white lights from the mast! Captain Steve really wanted large colored lights but he gets to use the colored lights on the Christmas tree at home. Anyway I was the one who went to the store and bought them, so I should get to choose!
A power boat in the marina all 'decked'out for Christmas with Palm Trees.
We went to the dock Christmas Party in the evening. Met a couple who lived in BrooklynHeights and a women who is from Bay Ridge. Another couple from Pennsylvania often anchored in Great Kills harbor on Staten Island . The Richmond County Yacht Club http://www.rcyachtclub.org/ is located in Great Kills. They loved the area and the proximity to Manhattan! Very small world. We had a good time!
Captain Steve and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy!
Sea u later!

I drew a Christmas Tree and hung it on the wall above the navigation station. I hung our ornaments from the shelf above. The sand dollor was a gift from Dan and Gina. The sailboat with 'YOLO' on the sail was a gift from Gen. I hung the candy canes from the ceiling hand holds, but they kept falling off when the boat rocked!. So I hung them from the shelf. Finally placed our presents under the tree. All with our alligators - Gator and Ally - keeping watch for Santa. (Instead of elf on a shelf we 'Floridized' it with our alligators.) http://www.elfontheshelf.com/content/about-us
