Happy New Year

We have been spending a lot of time aboard so New Years Eve day we decided to get off the boat for most of the day. We walked to an area that has several malls in close proximity to each other and wandered the malls, went out to lunch and took in a movie. We stayed in for the evening, but had a great location to watch the fireworks at midnight put on by West Palm Beach. To us it felt more like Independence Day that New Years. The temperatures here have been running a little above normal so for us on the water the evenings are still quite mild in the low 70's. The sounds of the parties carried across the water and of course at midnight there was the blare of boat horns. Our landing for the dinghy here is a very small sandy beach next to the roadway. No matter how careful we are we wind up with sand everywhere. We are still busy, but very near the end of building our enclosure for the cockpit. We had to order some more material which should be here next week.
