Well we didnt leave Christmas Day like we were thinking. The weather was terrible. Who knows what the forecasters were thinking. So we hung out and spent Christmas Day dinner with James's family. It was a great Christmas even though we were far from our families.

We've spent the past days doing boat projects and catching up on some reading with the beautiful weather. The winds just arent the way we want them even though it's nice out. Today James and his daughter Alex, his brother Jeff and their parents Craig and Pricilla came out sailing with us today. James was really excited to get Alex out sailing...he wants her to be one of those little rugrats out in the harbor shredding it up on a Laser. I dont blame him.

Of course the engine overheated again while we were out there. So we had to sail back to our anchorage. We are hoping to get it fixed again and hopefully take off tomorrow. We are getting really anxious to get to the Bahamas! Its been almost a month since we left Charleston.
