For the Christmas holiday we harassed Tom & Jean in Melbourne. Lots of fun was had and we even exchanged presents.

| Christmas in Melbourne |
From there we kept moving south and had Christmas dinner on board Nati with Robie, our friend on sv Celest. Anne made a great dinner and Robie ate most of it! Well, maybe not but he isn't here to defend himself.

| America's boat "Stars & Stripes" |

| Tourist trips in No Name Harbor |
Afterward we continued our journey south and jumped offshore at West Palm Beach and did a 70+ mile run to Miami, arrived in the dark and found a quiet anchorage near Virginia Key. Right after that we had some nice north wind come in and we had a good sail to Alabama Jacks for conch fritters with sv Kismet. The following day we sailed down Hawk Channel to Tavernier Key, where Nati is now.

| The channel into our dock is very narrow |
The location for Nati for a couple of months is well protected so when we aren't there we don't have to be concerned for her. All is set for a departure sometime in March so standby for further updates then.
