Well, it may not be -30 celsius here – but
16 feels cold for Florida! We’ve got the heater going in the boat, and we’re
wearing jackets outside – a big difference from two days ago in our bathing
suits! But I’m not complaining … the weather will be gorgeous again soon, and
thanks to the skill of my captain, the boat is taking shape, slowly but surely.
We’re having new covers made for the
cockpit cushions that are now thirteen years old, and that should give Sea
Change a face-lift. I rented a bike and have been exploring the area. The
little “historic village” of Titusville has a wonderful bakery with fresh (and
sometimes gluten-free) bread every day, and terrific lattes. It’s also full of
art galleries and surrounded by lovely lakes with “no shrimping” signs posted on them J.
Yesterday, while Jeff rested from his
labours, I took an hour bike ride to the Chain of Lakes park – with Snowy
Egrets, alligators sunning by the river’s edge, and a 4-story lookout that I
climbed for a spectacular view of the area – pics below.
We’re planning a pot luck dinner for the
boaters on New Year’s eve – again around a campfire provided by our neighbor.
And he said he’d look into fireworks as well – should be fun. Meanwhile, it’s
cleaning, laundry, boat repairs, etc. for another few days at least, so I won’t
post again until things get more exciting.
Happy New Year, everyone … we miss you all
a lot!
