To those expecting a Skype phone call tonight - sorry can't get connected. Sometimes the power goes off, sometimes the internet fails. It all comes back eventually - but not tonight - yet.
We had a great day. The weather was perfect, the wind laid down to 15 or less - tonight it is like 5kts. The day was sunny and warm. Started at 73 degrees this morning and a high off 79 degrees. Doesn't get much better than that.
We had a simple Christmas aboard. I received navigation lights for the dinghy and Karen received gold turtle earrings from here in Green Turtle Cay - real cool.
We splurged and had breakfast at the restaurant this morning - Eggs Benedict. Then we went for a walk on the beach. Back on the boat I dug out my dress flags for the boat and we fully dressed the boat - the only one here in White Sound. Other boats had a lot of flags but we were the only fully dressed boat.
While digging out the flags I had emptied most of the space under the V-berth so I went ahead and pulled out the 45 lb CQR anchor and swapped it with the 66 lb Bruce. The CQRs do very well in the Bahamas where the Bruce is questionable. It certainly served us well down the ICW - just slipped a bit in North Lake Worth.
At 1pm we went to the Cruisers pot luck over near Brendle's Dive Shop. It was very nice. Big crowd of cruisers and lots of food but little meet. No Turkey but had dressing and cranberries, and later someone brought a HUGE ham which was very good. A good time was had by all. Around 3pm we went back to the boat, dropped stuff off, and another walk on the beach near low tide. Karen finally found some nice shells.
Then it was back to the boat for some homemade Pecan Pie - which we did not share and some light reading.
Just before dark we undressed the boats and put the flags away till News Years.
For doing very little work - we are tired tonight.
I'll send pictures tomorrow if I have an internet connection.
