The Christmas Miracle keeps giving!

Yesterday was another Christmas Miracle.

Christmas Miracle History LINKS:  
#1.) Xmas Eve 2017, meeting the Angels on the dock.
#2.) the very next day was a miracle Christmas Cookout  Dec 25th, 2017.
Stuart FL.  Meeting Mack and Vicki McGahee with a porkchop in my backpack.
#3.) the third was finding the free LPG tank.  (The Christmas Miracle from March 7th, 2018 in Marsh Harbor.  The slightly used aluminum tank...) i filled it and it's sat on deck untouched.
#4.) the fourth Christmas Miracle, was running into Mack and Vicki at Hope Town.


#5.) yesterday was the 5th Christmas Miracle.  i had a chance meeting with my boat neighbor Paul on m/v Poco.  We were both dragging dock carts out to the parking lot to retrieve stuff from our cars.  Paul asked me to come by Poco at 6p for cocktails with he and his wife Marilyn.  Well it's Xmas, so of course i went!  We sat and visited enjoying sunset and i got ready to leave...  Marilyn says, "please stay and join us for dinner?"  How could i refuse that?  Paul got up to start the grill to cook three huge sirloins while Marilyn got busy in the galley with baked potatoes, cooking mushrooms and asparagus.  *Here is the miracle.  Paul cant find his 'little green gas bottle.'  So i run next door to my boat, Prodigal and return with the aluminum tank (miracle #3) - still full of fuel from Marsh Harbor - this was first and only time I've ever used it.  Christmas Eve to save the grill....   Miracle?

I hope YOU are enjoying a miraculous holiday!

PS.  update: i just got a text message from Mack and Vicki wishing me a Merry Xmas.  A 6th Miracle has unfolded!  

I took a photo of Confetti, Mack and Vicki's yacht for them last year in April.  This Christmas, Mack's son Hunter presented Mack with an original watercolor done by his girlfriend Julia....
