Cute little alligators outside a restaurant here called the Copper Pig.

We started 2017 with our traditional meal of French onion soup. Then we shared another traditional meal of ham and black eyed peas with our friends and dock mates Kris and John. It seems to have worked since the month was very quiet. We have had our coldest days yet but they never last long and are followed by warmer weather. Work has been pretty easy for Ralph as there isn't much traffic at the marina in January.
