WAITING GAME HERE IN FLORIDA

All boats are waiting, the game begins! The Gulf Stream is not passable right now. So, we are sure there are many boats in anchorages all around watching/reading the weather forecasts. Paul is checking a couple of times a day. It will be days away before we can cross. We have paid for this marina so may as well just stay put until we are confident we can cross. We would like to head down the Intracoastal Waterway to Key Biscayne and then leave from there. But no time soon! The fridges, freezers and pantries are packed so we are prepared, store the car and off we go when Paul says "tomorrow we leave for warmer waters".

Snug in marina in Port Salerno. Notice the fantastic job Paul did on the railings up in the flybridge.

Stainless steel railings on the sides of the flybridge will make it much safer up there. We have bought a round table to put up there once the inflatable is down. It is like a whole new room up there.

This tool is the one that saved us alot of money as Paul cut the stainless steel tubing himself. And, knowing Paul he is happy as it was done right! If we want to cut anymore stainless steel we have this great small tool onboard.

This young pelican was hunched beside this outboard motor as it was very windy today. He was not sleeping, he was watching me closely. I noticed he is tagged. The pelicans are fun to watch especially when the fishermen return, the scraps get thrown to them.

This small dish was a gift from a son
at Christmas time, we love it!
