Points for Participation

Good morning!

I’d like to welcome anyone who may have stumbled across this blog from Outer Reef’s site. Welcome! I feel I have to warn you. This blog is sometimes about boating. Sometimes about strange people I may notice while in whatever coffee shop (or Hooters) I’ve found that has wireless (tip! They all do!) But mostly I inevitably end up talking about food. I mentioned this to Barry and Alice last night at supper- that our new readers (should we acquire any) will probably, undoubtedly, think the three of us weigh a ton, collectively. I assure you we don’t. I just really like food. Having said all that, if what you were looking for was a site that will teach you something about boating, maintenance, and repair… you’re in the wrong place. The blog you need to be reading is John and Jeannie’s. They fit all that in AND manage to make it extremely interesting in the process (read: overachievers). Not that I don’t want you here, just hate to disappoint.



Ah, what a relief… I admitted to being complete fluff and you’re still here! Die-hards, I see.

I’m sitting in a coffee shop across the street from the Harbor Town Yacht Basin, HHI. Great coffee, REALLY great carrot-something muffin. Yum-oh.

Yesterday was a great day- Barry and I washed the boat, then I went to the pool. I finished reading Rebecca- great book, definitely recommend it- and started Pride and Prejudice because I feel like a failure for never having read it. So far, I’m wondering if the whole book will be able to live up to the very 1st line. We’ll see.
Later, we went to supper at The Crazy Crab next to the marina. I had the best Mahi ever. ...sorry about the glare on the window. But look how "food-happy" we are!

We’ll be in Hilton Head til early Thursday morning, then we’re headed to Charleston for 4 days.
I'll be sure to keep a detailed account of what I ate and the people I met.
...please come back.

Playing Catch Up... Sorry, Readers!

Hello all! Happy belated birthday to Jenny Klemme!!!

We left Lauderdale yesterday mornin (Monday) and got into Coconut Grove about 11ish?
Some pictures we took on our way from Lauderdale this morning:




This nice naked man welcomed us into Miami! wasn't that sweet?


We're staying at a really great marina- TONS of boats, very few transients. I rinsed down the boat, got a few chores done, then a couple of my friends- Tony and his girlfriend Stephanie- came and picked me up and I got to hang out with them for a while! We went to the park, and played on the exercise equipment...
yeah, Miami's a weird place.
Here's a picture of Stephanie doing a very good job on an elliptical-type contraption:

From there, we walked a little, got a frozen lemonade, window-shopped, and somehow ended up at Hooters- to people watch and have a beer :) Life is good.

We're here in Coconut Grove til Thurs. Right now I'm in a bookstore called The Bookstore in the Grove. Cute, right? Free internet. Point for them.
I bought a book- you're shocked I know. "Up In The Air"- the movie that came out a while back- didn't know it was a book first, I'll let you know how it is.
I have more pictures to upload, and likely more stories to tell you, but the heavens are fixin to open up and dump buckets, so that's all for now. Hugs!

Atlantic City

Today is Sunday, August 02, 2009.

This morning we left Cape May, New Jersey and now we’re in Atlantic City. It was a very short riding day- we got here before noon!

We didn’t see much on the ride today- it was really gross and foggy. In fact, I managed to get a picture of the foggy sunrise... here you go!

There is a lighthouse kinda across the canal from us here at the city marina… here’s a picture: See? I TOLD you it was gross today- you can't even see the top of the lighthouse!!
(I forgot to look up the name of this one... I'll have to tell you later...)


We've been chillin at the marina this afternoon because it's been really bad weather- the radar looked ominous! I watched some When Harry Met Sally- great movie! Now, I'm at Hooters (the server's name is Phylica?) scamming wireless, and later we're having steaks on the boat! Another great day!

Tomorrow is a layover day! woooohoooo! :D
