Yes, yes... I know I just got back from there, by plane of course. But I once heard the saying "Always do sober what you said you'd do when you were drunk." No, I haven't been drinking but I sometimes use a variation on that theory, that goes something like this...

I figure if I tell you guys that I'm going to do something, its harder for me to back out. Therefore I'm telling you that I've decided to sail down to Key West to spend the winter. I realize that its going to be expensive to live there but I'm counting on there being ample opportunities for me to play music and to find part-time employment. (Where did I leave that book on making hats out of palm fronds?)

I've got a local "friend of a friend" who's going to start searching out a slip for me. I'm going to give it a shot, I figure Key West might be a pretty good spot to spend the winter months..... Besides, Wilson has been bugging me to take him there ever since we watched the movie Running Scared.

So, now its time to start preparing Norma to get under way again and head south!
