Sunset

Last night it was lovely. There was a slight nip in the air as a cold front had come through earlier in the day, which made my mid afternoon bike ride quite pleasant. Otherwise we have both been busy enough doing random chores and "getting the boat ready to go" projects. I went to a giant wholesale store (Costco) the other day and $300.00 later all I seemed to have were enough zip lock bags to last until the end of the next Mayan calendar. We are not sure what our plans are for leaving right now because Darryl is trying to supervise the reconstruction of the kitchen at the yacht club which was damaged during hurricane/superstorm sandy. We will likely stay in Florida again this season because of that. I can't complain because aside from all the rain yesterday morning the weather has been better than usual for this time of year. Scooter has a great playmate here named Luke; a lively and very energetic standard poodle. We also have some lively and energetic friends here who help keep us in good humor and well entertained. We will all go our separate ways soon, but in the meantime we share drinks, dinner and boating stories regularly. Sunday we will have a Super Bowl get together even though none of us watch football. Last night we had a mock New Year's Eve party because Jose found a couple of bottles of champagne in a locker on her boat which she wanted to use up. Last Saturday the potluck was cancelled because Moose claimed there weren't enough people - we had one anyway! And so it goes until we all move along in our boats, cars or campers. In the meantime Darryl has chosen today to varnish (the wood on the boat) and I am going to town to get some goodies for Super bowl Sunday. Have a great day everyone!
