All the way down the coast we have been trying to stay in front of the cold weather. For the most part that has been achieved. That is until we make it to the sunshine state! Now I know our friends up in the "arctic" (I mean SYR) don't want to hear it, we finally got caught with some lousy weather.

While in St Augustine we knew a big cold front was coming across the country and we elected to move a day early to make it further south before it arrived. A night in Daytona Beach gave us the mileage needed to make it to Titusville and there we sat. For 4 nights we had wind (we were nicely tucked behind a RR bridge), rain and COLD! We missed the freezing weather but still we went through all our Sterno and Anne made hot chili, soups and bread to keep the stove/oven going. All in all it was fine but just not a sunny welcoming to Florida. The wildlife didn't like the weather either and we had ospreys, eagles, white pelicans and other birds hanging around Nati. The Ruddy Turnstones (now I call them the poop birds) loved sitting on Dingh-go. Yuck!!

We were not alone. s/v Mutual Fun came along so we did have a great dinner on board Nati one night. They even brought over the one pet dog that works on a boat. "Buster is made from concrete! Buster also eats very little and doesn't have to go to shore for a pee break. Nice dog!!
So now we are in Melbourne for a couple of weeks. Some boat projects but not a lot of news for now. We will give you the update of "Thanksgiving" ala Arnault later next week. Almost time for turkey and more turkey!
