Today is a beautiful winter day in Florida. The high will be in the low 80’s and the low will be in the low 60’s. Shorts, T-shirts and flip flops are the recommended clothing. We certainly cannot complain about the weather here. In fact, we aren’t complaining about anything. We’re still at dock at The Marina at Edison Ford and it has been wonderful.
OK, we’ve had several friends wondering if we’ve lost our sense of direction. Yes, we went south to Key West and then went back north to Ft. Meyers. Why? Because we can. 🙂

Osprey and her crew joined us in the mooring field at St. Pete Municipal Marina for 8 nights. We needed to go to St. Pete to pick up packages from Dorothy’s Aunt Barbara and we were so glad Osprey decided to join us. We decided that we would serve as each other’s family for Christmas.

We left our anchorage at Dog Island at noon as planned. The crew of Osprey, Steve, Deidra and dog, Trouble, were heading across with us. It’s always nice to have someone else out there to talk to and in case of problems. Continue reading 12/12-12/13/2016. The Crossing
Old man winter has finally decided to let us cross the gulf. Yeah!!!!! As much as we enjoyed our time in Carrabelle, we are ready to get our sea legs back and start moving. This morning we are anchored at Dog Island, a barrier island about 45 min. from Carrabelle. Continue reading 12/5-12/12/2016 Finally on Our Way Again
As we suspected, we are still in Carrabelle and will be for the foreseeable future. We’ve consulted all soothsayers we can find and none of them see a window opening any time soon. Who are our soothsayers? Continue reading 12/2-12/4 Carrabelle continues
Carrabelle, Carrabelle, Carrabelle. Today is December 1 and we have been in Carrabelle for 5 nights now and probably will be here for that many more.
