This year we had
planned to sail up the west coast of Fl. and visit the Crystal River
area which is full of natural springs and manatees this time of year but now, with Anna still
recovering from her heart procedure all sailing is off the table for the next
month. Which, it turns out, was bad timing for our friends Ken and Sue who came down to visit us. They arrived
on Super Bowl Sunday (the day after Anna’s release) to stay with us for a long
week and do some sailing up the west coast. Now, that we’re in “harbor” mode
and instead of the excitement of sailing from island to island with the ocean
breezes cutting thru your hair they get to dingy thru the mangroves, find
key deer, meeting other cruisers and hunt down manatees for a photo shoot.

Well,,, After a week of this non stop excitement, they decided this lifestyle was just too hectic and stressfull and abandoned us for a 7 day cruise ship excursion out of Miami to the Virgin Islands! J
