Subject: I'm back!
I apologize that I have not posted lately
but we have been so busy – doing chores on the boat; having company for a week;
practicing anchoring; researching various destinations and marina amenities; deciding
how and where we are going to celebrate Christmas and New Years; selecting
alternative cities and marinas; shopping for Christmas presents; mailing
presents; keeping track of inventory and provisions among other things. Please be assured I am not shunning my commitment to post but a
multitude of ‘things’ got in the way. In
the future I will post at least every other day, even if it is not as
informative as I would like. Living on a
sailboat in Florida and blogging are very new to me. But on the positive side - all this activity
has created a lot of material for this blog; some very interesting, exciting, funny;
unbelievable and all true! So hopefully
the wait will be worth it! Thank you for
you patience and understanding and most importantly reading and sharing this
blog with others!
The following is a recap of the past 3 weeks,
each of which will necessitate multiple posting to cover!
·
My sister Gen came for a week so we moved the boat to the Miami
Municipal Marina (Miamarina.) http://www.miamigov.com/marinas/pages/marinas/ Had a great time with
the three Ms – Miami, Marina and Mojitos!
(actually 4 and Me)
·
Anchoring in Biscayne Bay. http://www.sandbarhopper.com/biscayne.htm The
process; what we did wrong and right. What
we learned about anchoring, going ashore, our systems and ourselves.
·
Sailing Biscayne Bay.
·
Moving on south. Traveling
on the ‘outside’ for 2 days in very rough seas!
OMG!
·
Coexisting on the boat for 10 consecutive days – and still talking
to each other!
·
The sunrises, sunsets, stars, sun and sand! Best of all no snow!
·
Preparing to celebrate the holidays!
Sea u tomorrow - Christmas Eve!
