Merry Christmas!

It's been sunny and 80's down here in the Florida Keys.  I guess all the schedule of sailing and moving and anchoring and moving and cleaning and moving have distracted me from my traditional Holiday Remembrances.  To all of you who are expecting a lovely, hand made, Christmas Card to show up in your mailbox...   Well 'it aint happening' this year.  I dropped the proverbial Christmas ball.  Sorry.

Yesterday priority #1 was to get the paperwork done on Lynne's Passport.  She cant sail away without the correct paperwork.  (duhh)  That took some minor effort.  Go Online and try to fill out the US Government questionnaire.  (American Consulate, Homeland Security make forms clear and easy to navigate...   - NOT)  priority #2 is for me to get my boat insurance renewed prior to Jan 11th.  BOTH projects require that we print the forms, sign and mail them.

So we have to go find a printer, a Walgreens for a passport photo, a UPS store to mail it.  Walk 1.5 miles to the City Marina, borrow a bike, ride 1 mile to the UPS store.  Print, Post and then turn around and repeat the travel steps in reverse.  (while beside the UPS store, go into Publix supermarket for food on Dec. 23rd.  A zoo!)  That's walk 3 miles, bike 2 miles.  My buns of steel are getting a good workout.

After all the 'relaxation day' travels we decided to eat sushi at the Castaways restaurant down the block from the boat.  Smart, very smart!

Now i'm up early with coffee thinking how i missed out on sending cards this year.  Happy Holiday! May your season be bright, full of good cheer and plenty of coconuts.    XOxo
