Florida Stay

Susan/ Beautiful, Sunny, 70
It has been a long time since I updated this blog! We had a very nice holiday visit in Rhode Island.
During a scheduled annual check-up, Jeff's MD recommended a visit to a dermatologist. He discovered a melanoma on his chest. We were all set to fly to Florida, so we left RI on January 8th. Our dear friend Ann Dunphy got him into her dermatologist's office and they excised the spot ASAP. We have been staying with her and her daughter Bailey since then. We are trying to contribute as much as we can, but still feel like freeloaders (this happened 8 years ago on our first cruise to the Bahamas!). We are so grateful to them.
The boat is snug on a mooring up in Stuart. Sunset Bay Marina is a very nice spot with docks and moorings, great facilities and staff and good security. Jeff installed our new single side band receiver and antenna and they work!! I made some more sunshades for the cockpit and they fit. We caught up on the cleaning and provisioning.
While here we have gone to see Pink Martini play--they were fabulous! We have gone to John D. MacArthur State Park to the Nature Center, and toured Palm Beach. I have restarted my walking/exercising. My knitting is back on track and we have been cooking and freezing some meals to put into Meltemi's freezer.
The upside of this delay is that I will be here when my dear college friends arrive on the 27th for a reunion here at Ann's home!! We will have a ball as usual, catching up on news and reliving our youth, and eating and drinking. Can't wait!!
When we get the all clear from the doctor, we will be leaving on the first weather window. His last comment to Jeff was "You're cured", so once the stitches are out, we will boogey. Hoping to update you with more salty stories soon!!
