Just before New Years, we arrived in Marathon, Florida. It's part of the Keys and we've not yet explored all the natural spots of interest and been to Key West, but we have a month here, so will get to it all!. Had great Holidays with Hilary and Joe, her boyfriend. It was fun exploring the areas south from Miamai to Key Largo. Joe was thrilled to catch a very nice Dorado and we'll have photos soon from Hilary to post of that! Very cold here. Not really Florida weather. Still wearing jeans and layers and foul weather jackets!

Boat projects underway--- wiring, electrical, sewing covers for things--good to be working as we've been waiting for sunshine to do the fun things.
The boat looks spiffy and we'll be ready to cross the Gulf Stream sometime in early Feb to the Bahamas!
