The Life of a landlubber

I am enjoying my time as a landlubber here in Cape Coral, Florida.  We have settled into a routine as we are staying in my mother-in-law's condo.  It has a gym and a pool. I admit to not having visited the gym yet, but at least I am thinking about it.

Tonight is my turn to cook for the gang, so I have prepared a nice batch of chili to go along with Joanna's corn pudding. Last night we went out to eat at Pete's place, a fish joint that serves terrific fish 'n chips prepared properly by a Brit from Manchester.

We are continuing to connect with family which is why we headed to the Florida west coast to begin with. I have also watched some tv (disappointing), read some, watched a movie ( The girl with the Dragon Tattoo), and put some time in the pool. I am also getting a taste of the Florida madhouse. People and traffic everywhere. Tis the season. Except for family and swimming, all good reasons to jump back on the boat and get out of here. But alas, I should not forget that the weather has been mighty fine and I have a chance to recharge my batteries.

And so my life is pretty mundane for the next week or two before the boating adventure starts all over again. We are on schedule so to speak and the chili is ready.  Plenty of time for a gin and tonic!
