It's official.
We are wimps. That's right. WIMPS! A cold front came through this area yesterday. I knew it was coming because I had looked at the forecast earlier in the week. This cold front was going to bring lots of wind (from a nasty direction), which translates to a bouncy boat and wet dinghy rides to shore. Not to mention of course -COLD! So we booked a slip at the dock here where we could plug in the little heater I keep stashed away for such emergencies. No braving the elements for us. Nope. Personally I am way past that time in my life where sleeping huddled in a ball with a blanket covering everything but one nostril is fun. Not that it was ever fun but it certainly was no big deal when I was younger. So here we are, tied up and plugged in for two days. My friend Jose took it a bit more seriously and booked a room at a hotel when her husband suggested it would be " no big deal" to be a little cold. (After re-assessing the forecast he went too). This morning when we woke up it was a chilly 38 outside (ok folks, remember, we ARE in florida) and a balmy 52 inside the boat. Today the sun is shining and it is very windy - I call it a "crocs with socks" kind of day. (Crocs the shoes...) Right now the farmers market is calling us. It is a short walk away, and I will buy some veggies to put into a nice warm home made soup for tonight. Off to find my socks!
