We really wanted to pick up a few indigenous trinkets for our Caribbean family we are attached to in Grenada! We have so much to be thankful for that a few musical lizards, the Cuban cigar, Benny More along with the delectable spices inherent in Cuban comida, kept us swirling with choices.

Here we are, shopping Miami style, dancing at the arena that juts out into the harbor at Miama (yep, that's how the early crackers pronounced Miami) Marina, and where is Dudley? He's drooling over a sailboat. This isn't any sailboat...it's the Heritage of Miami! Reminiscent of days long gone when we depended upon these strong workboats. This is the Heritage of Miami, a charter boat that Dudley hired to spread his Mom's ashes in Biscayne Bay, Florida way back when. He drooled and dreamed then when we had the chance to explore the nooks and crannies only imagined each and every time we crossed paths in our perfect sailing grounds.

He's still dreaming! He cannot help himself from scouring every sailing rag for 'the boat'. Do all sailors do this? Let's say our next cruiser is a 42' Pacific Sea Craft. Guaranteed he'd still be looking at a 44' Cabo Rico before long. Human Nature?
