Ft. Lauderdale

OK, so we’ve gone to Plan B.  A couple of minor incidents have caused us to change our plans, and so we plan to fly to NY on Monday.

First, Fred’s back has been complaining for several days.  Nothing new, just a flare up.  Second, he bit into a lamb chop and broke a tooth, which now requires a root canal---far better done at home. 

In an unrelated incident, that boat hook in the photo fell into the canal here at Ft. L. and so did Fred.  I lost my grip on his hand when he grabbed for it!   Saved the hook, though, and an hour later when the current switched and his red ball cap floated by, he rescued that, as well.  His cigar came out of the water clamped in his jaw, but no longer aflame. The Blackberry didn’t fare so well, but it was nearly upgrade time, so it is all good.  Yes, we’ve tried a bag of rice.  To no avail.

Bottom line is we’ll get back to blogging when we get back to cruising---that is slated to be end of April.  And THEN we’ll be heading for Lake Okeechobee and W VA!
