Looks like tomorrow is the day. Wish I could sleep through the whole passage thing. But I guess once it’s over (and I’ve survived it, hopefully) it will be one less scary thing I’ve been hoping to avoid! The reward will be island hopping through some lovely tropical waters…..
Yesterday was all about me! We were invited for cocktails aboard Sea Schell along with others from nearby boats, and Melinda came up the companion way with a lovely chocolate cake for me! Nothings beats wine and chocolate!…before dinner!
I blew out all my candles, so I better get my wish! (something along the lines of Beethoven’s “Calm Seas Prosperous Voyage”)
Then Bob and I went ashore to a lovely restaurant called Serafina Trattoria for a marvellous dinner out on their terrace overlooking one of Ft. Lauderdale’s many canals. Life is good!
Today we finished our chores, and now we are battening things down. Today we saw manatees right near the dinghy dock, eating leaves from bushes that overhang the water!
And an iguana!
And a crazy guy playing with his cool jet toy. Bob ended up crossing paths with the crew later in the day and found out that they paid $100,000 for that toy. They plan to sell rides on it, although it looks to me like you’d need some skill to control that thing! I wonder how many rides they have to sell to break even?
I’ll finish up with another knitting joke. It describes me so well….what I’ll work on for the next few months.
Starting tomorrow we won’t have reliable internet, so I won’t be posting here as regularly as I’d like. Hopefully I’ll be ‘chillaxing’ in a tropical breeze looking at a pearly white beach across an expanse of gin clear water…. one can hope!
