we're off to florida on tuesday. we're sad to leave the kids and grands but not sad to leave the winter. we've booked into the st. maurice inn in fort lauderdale for a few days to walk the beach and catch our breath. billie dancer will be moved to the maintainance area on friday, january 21. new bottom paint for her. we've forgotten much. i'm looking forward to looking up and checking what kind of palm tree i'm resting against.
i'm not sure how to get the dingy back up on its davits. last year there was a fifteen foot long alligator who hung around the marina so i won't be getting into the water any too soon.
all the gang, sans mike, was over last night for a last evening together. ian was in form so everyone had exhausted head muscles by evening's end.
