Guess I have been remiss in keeping this little blog up, I shall try to do better.
We are in Cocoa Village, Florida this morning. On the hook taking an especially long for us hiatus from traveling south to spend Thanksgiving with old friends.
David's dear friends Al and Jennifer live on Merritt Island and we will be indulging in Thanksgiving Turkey with them. They have been wonderfully helpful to us since we arrived. Carting us to the grocery and out to dinner.
Great restaurant down town, Murdock's we sat outside at picnic table with Bo and could enjoy the bar scene and live music through windows. One actually climbs in and out of the windows if one so chooses! Food was great, David enjoyed a spicy shrimp dish.
Friends from the Outer Banks arrived yesterday, George and Betsy from our yacht club are here to sail for a few days and partake of Thanksgiving dinner with Jennifer and Al too.
At the moment George is whipping up a great breakfast of ham and scrambled eggs and cheese. Yummy!
Our trip from Church Creek to here was good. The captain did a great job winding through VERY LOW water. Although we did run aground once and had to call Tow Boat US. Found out from the kind young man they sent out that if someone calls them too much (say $2800) that they will cancel your insurance....so much for unlimited!
Bosun gave the nice man a wet kiss in thanks for getting us off the shoal.
Time to eat - more later - I promise!
