No News is Good News

Greetings everyone! We are in southern Florida and the weather is fine. Boats are notoriously humid inside due the contained space and when it is cold outside one is reluctant to open and keep open hatches. But when it is warm the magic is in full force while sleeping with the hatch open and looking at the stars when one rolls over at night. Florida is having a great spell of low humidity and being from Wyoming that’s what I like. There are a great number of boaters in southern FL this time of year. When moving about and around the inlets and waterway it is indeed “heavy traffic”. As heavy as around the southern tip of Manhattan and that is saying something! We are spending time giving the boat what it needs in terms of scrubbing and cleaning off all the staining from northern waters and various insults from the bird world. The boat is becoming her beautiful self once again. Florida is having a “cold snap” as I am writing this (only in the high 60's during the day) so I am occasionally stirring the crock pot containing homemade chicken and sun dried tomato soup (white wine, carrots, potatoes, green peas, minced onion, sun dried tomatoes, cubed chicken breast, broken pieces of whole wheat fettuccine). While we are on the topic of food, some marinas allow grilling at the dock so we have been heavily into the shisckabobs of zucchini, summer squash, onion, red pepper, green pepper, with filet minon wrapped in bacon. Our travels will eventually take us to the Gulf of Mexico. In the near term we will wonder around the end of FL and the keys. Cook something good to eat and stay Happy! Arrivederci for now, Mr. K
