We have been in Florida since 11/30

We arrived at Fernandina Beach on November 30 and stayed until Dec 3. We met our friends Sandy and Jack Noble there and spent some time with them. We actually stayed an extra day due to the weather forecast of tornadoes and 60 mile a hour winds, neither of which happened. We enjoyed Fernandina Beach, it has lots of little shops on a very pretty main street. Another friend had a car, so off we went (three cruising women) to the grocery and liquor store. On Thursday, Dec 3 we arrived at a marina called Palm Cove. I had called the marina to check on the depth of the water because the cruising guide said it was only 6 feet(we need 5 feet) and they assured me the marina had been dredged and it was 7 feet. Well in we went, our depth sounder showing 4, 3, 2 feet. I think our boat was on the bottom that night, but nothing happened to it. We met another couple on a power boat and had dinner with them at the restaurant next to the marina, a very good meal. It was worth the shallow water for the meal. The next day we arrived at Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor, just north of St. Augustine, FL. This was a first class marina and actually my old employer writes the insurance for the boat yard associated with it. We stayed 2 days, the last day being very cold and foggy and rainy, felt like we were in Maine in the summer. We had the heat on at night. We left Sunday, Dec.6 and arrived in Daytona where we have been ever since. We spent a couple of nights off the boat at Helen and Ray Lanza's beautiful house in Deland. It was so nice to sleep in a king size bed, shower in a beautiful bathroom, watch tv and visit with good friends. I did laundry and more laundry, got a hair cut, Packet had a bath, we went to the movies, out to dinner. Dave and I went back to the boat on Wednesday and spent two days doing chores on the boat. On Friday Helen and Ray came for dinner and then on Sunday friends of theirs picked us up and took us back to Deland for a Christmas open house at the Lanza's. What wonderful friends we are so lucky to have. We were going to leave today, Dec. 14, but we woke up to pea soup fog(fog was so thick we could not see the end of the row of docks from our boat) and Barb was not feeling quite right(MS really is a pain in the butt at times) so we stayed. We will be going tomorrow and will go to Titusville (near the space shuttle area) and then on to Melbourne and finally to Vero Beach where we will spend the week before Christmas. Our plan is to be in Vero Beach from 12/18 until 12/27. Once we get there I will write again. Oh yes, it is finally warm, the last 3 days have been in the high 70's to 80 plus!!!
