MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
We hope everyone is having a great Christmas. We are - - an exciting and very different one for sure. Christmas Eve we went to dinner on another boat. Steve and Ruth were wonderful hosts to about 16 people on their 48' Kadey Krogen Whaleback, a very nice single engine trawler they have lived on full time for 6 years. Judy remarked that the inside looks like a Manhattan apartment, very plush. Today we are invited to our boat broker's house here in Stuart for dinner with his family. We are enjoying the people we meet, but we do miss our family and friends.
Our plans have changed a little. We had hoped to leave Stuart and start traveling on Monday, but Matt has developed some back problems. He has been in pain for several weeks now. He had an MRI done and the doctor recommended a series of three injections in two discs. He had the first ones on Tuesday and has the second one scheduled for January 4th. It seems to be working a little and we hope these will do the trick and relieve the pain. So, we will keep our slip for a few more weeks. It's a nice place to be, but we are anxious to start cruising. If he improves quickly, we will leave when we feel comfortable to do so.
We have had some very beautiful sunny weather. This morning was a little nippy at 48 degrees, but it will warm up to about 73 later today. We have also had some colder than normal nights, but it beats snow. We didn't do much decorating for Christmas, but look at the attached photos.
Well, off to the jacuzzi and a swim -- don't be envious.
Merry Christmas to all and we wish you a safe, happy and prosperous New Year.
