 Hello Everybody,

 

It has been a  busy winter in the Florida Keys but whose complaining. The weather has been unusually wet and windy. The up side is the wind generator has been doing more than its share of providing the power to keep everything running.  

 

As usual we have enjoyed the sunrises

 

with the morning coffee and the sunsets

 

with the evening meal. We have been on anchor since December but will move to a mooring ball

until we leave. Next week they are going to finish installing the remaining moorings and will have

200+ moorings in place for next year.

 

My daughter and family are arriving in Marathon Sunday for a visit and will be here for about

a week. Looking forward to seeing them. They will be staying ashore, might get a little crowded 

on the boat. 

 

Ruby has a new male friend on the sailboat "Imagine" named Popeye. They have been sharing

Whisker Lickin's and I'm not sure what else.

 

Looks like we will be heading out around the 15th of April to make the trip north to Virginia with

a stop over in Jacksonville or Fernandina Beach. I will be making a quick trip to the "Coast" to renew

the tag on my vehicle before the end of May. Look forward to seeing everybody. Should be in the

Norfolk area towards the end of June.
