We are snaking our way along the intercostal waterway from the Marathon Yacht Club to the Key Biscayne Yacht Club- I say snaking because we are, once again, dodging crab traps.  We had a brief shower just after leaving the club and Rick says we may get a little more rain.  Go figure – the forecast was for a 10% chance of rain!  The water started off pretty calm due to a SSE wind when the keys were blocking most of the wind.  But, it didn’t take long for the wind to pick up. The swells weren’t very big but there were constant white caps and lots of water splashing up on the starboard side. After the rain, I started to go up top and Rick advised me to stay in the pilot house as the splashes were going over the windshield and hitting him in the face!  We arrived safely at Key Biscayne Yacht Club at 2:00 p.m.  The boat will be here for the next 12 days.

We went to Rick’s Mom’s on December 24 – his sister and her husband and son were already there.  Our son, with his family came over Christmas afternoon.  After eating dinner with the Hoffmeister’s, we went to the Cambre’s in Port Orange.  They had just finished their family dinner when the 5 of us arrived and we had a great time opening gifts.  We had a wonderful Christmas with all of our extended family (except Mary and Rich with their children Savannah and Ethan who were unable to make the trip from Tennessee and Tammy, who was still entertaining Christmas guests at home in Geneva, Florida.) On Friday we travelled from Ormond Beach, Florida to Palmetto, Florida, where we enjoyed a nice meal with our son and his family, followed by celebrating the New Year a night early out back by the fire pit.  We spent New Year’s Eve with many friends at the Bradenton Yacht Club.  We drove back to Key Biscayne on January 1, making a stop at the world’s largest West Marine in Ft. Lauderdale.  On January 2, the watermaker was installed and laundry done. (KBYC has one washer and one dryer for visitors use – $1.50 per load.) Also, we made plans with our friends, David and Suzy to come down the next afternoon to see the boat and have dinner.  We had originally planned to cross over the Gulfstream tomorrow headed to Bimini, but a cold front is predicted and it looks like we will be staying here a few more days.

On Tuesday, 1/3/12, we went to dinner with Suzy and David at the Bayside Complex near the cruise port. We enjoyed both the food and the company.  On Wednesday, we had a public transportation adventure.  We left the yacht club at 10:30 am and returned at 5:30 pm.  We took the bus, then the metro-rail, then the tri-rail (train), then another bus to get to Ft. Lauderdale.  When we got off of the bus, we walked a half-dozen blocks to the West Marine to buy some filters for the new water maker.  Then we did the whole thing in reverse!  On Friday afternoon we put about 260 gallons of fuel in the tanks in  preparation for departure then moved back to slip 67.

We departed at approximately 7:30 am on 1/7/12.
