Watching the clothes dry!

Woke up to crisp 50's this morning after passage of a cold front but smiling because it is sunny out. Then I heard that back home in NY Sandy Creek is having a snow day and that really put it in the proper perspective. I love snow(at least to watch) but there is just something about seeing the sun every day that makes everything feel so much better!
This has been a happy week so far and naturally it is going by fast. In fact, this trip is going by fast! We have been out here now almost a month and have already had a raft full of adventures!

But there are also mundane realities to boat travel: We have laundry to do this morning so I am sitting here by the machine as I write. Life's daily chores do not disappear when we step on the boat. We cook meals in our galley, try to keep a clean boat, and do stuff like shopping and laundry. There is always boat maintenance to be done and trip planning....but still plenty of time for reading a book or taking a nap. Late afternoon-evening is always a special time when after a long day we settle down in the cockpit to enjoy the sunset with a sundowner (<---Drink)

The best part about traveling the ICW though is immersing ourselves into this waterborne lifestyle. It all plays out to a completely different tune when you are traveling on the water. I am truly blessed and thankful that I have a mate (the admiral) to share it all with.

We have enjoyed our visit to Marineland Marina where the staff is just the best. Gonna try to pedal up to Ft. Matanzas at some point if the north wind will cooperate. Sunday we head for the Daytona area and a family reunion with my cuzzints. Looking forward to that!
