We're still here and will be all winter although many folks have left their boats winterized and are heading home to various parts of the country or continuing their cruise south. Many people spend the winter months in Florida or the Bahamas but we made the decision to remain here until the spring as we've already cruised through Florida. The marina serves complimentary breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings but today was the last one of the season and we bid farewell to several couples leaving. The weather for the last couple of days has been miserable - cold and wet! However, today it's just COLD. It would be a beautiful day otherwise.
We're located in a covered slip but the docks are not floating so we have to be sure our lines are loose to allow movement with the tides which are significant. Yesterday and today the water has been so high that we had to improvise getting off the boat. First Mike put a bucket out to step on and we went to breakfast. When we returned, the bucket was missing - it floated away! Today we used our folding steps but made sure we picked them up before walking away. You have to be flexible when living aboard.
Today we're just hanging out as there's not much more to do without a car. Hopefully mine will be delivered tomorrow as I've been getting cabin fever. I have my first injection of euflexa in my knee this Wednesday and am praying it works as I'd sure like to get back into a regular workout routine.
We're going to dinner tonight at a great italian restaurant with a nice couple we met here at the marina. She's the one from San Antonio.
Well, not much more that's new as we've been unable to get around but hopefully that will soon change.
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
