It has been a week today since we took possession of our catamaran. We spent the first 4 days at the city marina at Fort Lauderdale. Lots of cleaning and finding places for our stuff. Seems to be plenty of storage, for now!!!
On Tuesday, we set sail for Marathon to meet up with Pat and Walt from Waves of Grace. This is their third winter here and I can see why We arrived on Wednesday and Pat had made us a welcome dinner. Both Pat and Walt have gone out of their way to show us the town and things to do here. We love it and look forward to getting Yasmine Ann into tip top shape while enjoying the beautiful weather and great company.

Our fist sunrise at anchor in Rodriquez Key.
Wake during 8+ knot sailing. Wind was blowing 25-30 on a beam reach down Hawk Channel.
Now that is a Happy Admiral
My GPS to use when working below. 8.1 knots in this picture. Max that day was 8.8. Yumsuch would be doing the same, but the next picture tells the difference.
Notice the bottle of water sitting still on the table.
Now that is an office with a view.
Waves of Grace right next door.
The teacher asked the young students, "Was George Washington a Soldier or a Sailor?"
ReplyDeleteOne Student stood up and said with authority, "He could not have been a Sailor. A Sailor would have known better tha to stand up in a boat!" Norbert
