February 15, 2010

Two weeks later.....
As you can see, while we’re docked in Marthon, the Monday Messages are a bit spotty.
After the Power Squadron meeting ended on Sunday morning, Suzanne Nentwich joined us and we went to watch the On the Water Training Certification Course taking place north of Orlando.  Was good to see USPS working with boaters in their boats!  District 2’s guy, George, was there, preparing for Certification courses in NY this summer.  
It was Super Bowl Sunday, and we arrived at Suzanne and Eddy’s condo in Hollywood Beach, FL, just in time for the game.  Too bad, Peyton--and good for Payton!  Was an exciting game, with a great dinner at half time!
Monday morning we walked the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk and had breakfast ‘out’, then we headed for Miami Int’l Airport where we met daughter Linda Lee’s flight from NY.

Back to the boat where we enjoyed a four day visit that included scuba diving, sunning at Sombrero Beach, sunset at  Mallory Square in Key West, a trip to the Dolphin Research Center, and  a good deal of relaxation--just hanging out!
On Thursday afternoon, while Linda and I were out Scuba-ing, Fred picked up daughter Jenny with Casey and Rebecca at Ft. Lauderdale airport.  Friday, he almost ‘met himself coming back’ as he returned Linda to the Miami Airport, checked out (but didn’t attend) the Miami Boat Show, and then picked up son-in-law Chris at FLL.
The long weekend was again packed with relaxation--the kids enjoyed our ‘private’ Banana Bay Beach, as well as Sombrero (on the Ocean side of the Key), Crane Point Nature Center, swimming in the ‘hot tub’ and the ‘cold tub’ at the Marina, and of course, sunset at Mallory Square.

Again. the time passed all too quickly, and now everyone has safely returned to NY--check out Facebook for their photo albums.
Fred and I took in the local Cinema tonite--sadly, we can’t recommend Lovely Bones....'twas a very strange film which I didn't enjoy watching, but it is sorta growing on me in retrospect.
Boat work continues, and if the sun shines every day as warmly as it did today, after last week’s  brutal cold snap, we’ll be happy campers!
We hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day!  Onward and upward!
Linda and Fred
