The Wait Continues!

We are still here in Palm Beach! The new electronics have successfully been installed and we may or may not have the water maker fixed by the time we depart. No worries, though, especially if I can get all the required parts to take with me. Sunday looks favorable for the short trip across the Gulf stream. Even though we are enjoying the area, we look forward to getting somewhere a little more remote. There are several cruising boats here, but they are waiting for after Christmas to head back to the Bahamas.

Caroline has found friends to play with in the afternoons once school lets out. They mostly swim and catch unsuspecting creatures that swim by. She did spot a manatee the other day but was unable to catch it!

Coco has even found a playmate! Her name is Luna and she is a Nova Scotia Duck Trolling Retriever. She's the marina's owner's puppy and she and Coco wear each other out!

Anyway, here are from shots from the area.

I've just been getting caught up on your blog. I missed the last couple of weeks. Very Cool Adventures! It was good talking to you today. With Winter setting in up here, I'm probably not the only one of your friends thinking about some way to follow your lead.
Good Luck with your electronics and the weather. I can't wait to read more posts.
BTW: Robert loved the pictures of the Dolphins. That is right up his ally.

Merry Christmas! Great pictures of Caroline and her new friends. She looks like she is having lots of fun. Lew, we hope you aren't too sore from the fall - you will always remember how this Christmas morning began. Hope you get to leave soon for the crossing. It won't be the same at Mimi's without you. Love and hugs to all! Melisa
