Florida, Here We Come!



    The boat is ready to go and finally so am I. Got the ok to cruise from the cardiologist following an Ablative procedure in October and Cardoversion in November to resolve my altrial-fibrilation. All systems are go and we are planning to depart on 3 Jan, following provisioning the boat and picking up refills of medical prescriptions. Getting old is not conducive to cruising. Good justification for cruising when you health supports it - not when financial security does. Sue and I are 65 and 66 and starting to experience health issues that can limit your activities. We're very glad to be able to get back to cruising at this point.
   We are heading, this winter season, to Florida waters. Will hang out in Biscayne Bay and Florida Keys for awhile and cruise up to Punta Gorda to visit friends. I love this photo of the Boca Chita anchorage and we plan to spend some time here again on this trip.

   Our last trip to the keys we arrived at Key West at sunset and cruised by the crowds on Mallory St at the waterfront.


   This is the view that all the people are lining up to watch. Sunset off Key West.  Will be good to see these sights again.
