The main theme that has run through the last 6 weeks of traveling around Florida, in addition to the spectacular sights, has been the kindness of the folks we have met. Everyone has been so great!

For Christmas, we were invited to a Bloody Merry Christmas party at Mangrove Marina. We had just met a few of the folks a couple days before. But everyone was so friendly and welcoming that we felt right at home!

We had a great time drinking Bloody Mary’s and eating Cuban sandwiches. This picture is of a Christmas Carol and her boat neighbor, Jim. They are dressed for the Christmas party! Carol made an awesome Texas Queso and they all played dominoes. We love it here, the place is peaceful and the people are all so generous!

But we have to travel on, can’t stay in one place very long. Friday, we are planning to navigate Snake Creek over to the ocean side. Hopefully, the wind, waves, current and tides will be good to us! Hope each of you reading this had a wonderful Christmas! I know we did!
