Still here!

For some strange reason a lot of people think we have crossed over to the Bahamas already.  We should be across according to our schedule (oh no…."the schedule!") but for some reason, and much of that has to do with the horrible weather for crossing the gulf stream it hasn't happened yet.  South Beach isn't the worse place in the world and we have been getting a lot of little projects completed.  Right now there isn't any option to cross for the short term so…………here we are watching the crazy people in Miami.

The Super Bowl yesterday was good but once again, our team messed up at the very end and let those cheaters pull it out.  This plane kept going around and around us yesterday morning so I'm as suing a very big fan of the Patriots lives near us.  It wasn't us!

On the way north from Marathon last week we happened upon a few more friends from the Chesapeake.  Clint & Terry have recently bought sv Finding Balance.  They had a trimaran up north and moved south a year to two ago.  I bet they are not missing the cold weather up north.

In addition we have met up with Victor & Kathy on sv Raisa right nearby where we are anchored in S. Beach.  They were our neighbors up in Pleasure Cove Marina and they are doing quite well this winter.

All in all there isn't much to report.  We are ready to head east when possible but there is no sense to rush it. We both want to sail over and not just motor straight into the wind.  We'll see…..stand by.  In the meantime there could be worse backyards to have……
