PRIM has got her groove back. We are at Palm Coast for a couple months enjoying the wonderful folks here. After six weeks of cold weather we are finally able to take our mittens off so we thought we would blog. We took a break from the cold weather and boatyard work in St. Augustine to visit some of Pete's relatives and see the Gulf Coast of Florida. We also snuck in a peak at the trawler show in Stuart. The highways in Florida are great but some of them resemble the Daytona 500. These are 70+ people going 70+ mph but you can get to your destination rather quickly. Once you're on a main highway, there is usually a median strip, beautifully landscaped, but they make you do U-turns all the time. It's a great system unless you're looking for something on the other side of the road. If you undershoot, you're stuck with at least two more U-turns. But wait! This sounds like we're complaining. We're not. There's no snow and we're happy to be here. Our friends and neighbors back home are still digging out from four feet of snow and ice. (heheheheh) (Continued...)

Baby It’s Cold Outside….

No snickers, please. Priim was hauled yesterday for repairs and we moved off to a condo for the month. Not bad timing I suppose - it will be below freezing here every night for the next millenium. Daytime temps will struggle to get out of the 40's if at all. The other night, it was warmer in Alaska. Who'da thunk you'd have to winterize a boat in Forida?! (Continued...)

Sox!

Drat, I had to rummage through some drawers this morning to find my sox. It's nippy here, but yesterday's rain and boomers have stopped and there is none of that white stuff on the ground. We are so happy (snigger, snigger) for our kids in Upstate NY and Massachusetts who have forecasts of blizzard conditions, snow, and more snow. Enjoy. (Continued...)
