Sydney and I have been enjoying the warmth of the Miami weather, (Sydney really enjoys the swimming, almost every day). Although... the 80 degree days don't do much for the Christmas spirit... that's got to come from 'inside', I guess...if you live down here in the South.

| Dorothy and Glen (s/v Dot's Way) at Peanut Island |
Their company has been great, over this past week or so... They're now looking seriously about moving down to "Nixon Harbor"... near No Name harbor (Key Biscayne) to get an easy exit to the Atlantic, and the Gulf Stream crossing.
I've got some small shopping to do today, or tomorrow, but for the most part my days are taken up with small boat projects... ( just came inside to write this, and do some phone calls... for taxis, and shuttle connections from MIA.... I was hoisting the spinaker to let it dry and unfold)...

| AB leaving HON Marina in October 2011 - Pea Soup Fog |
Dee and Scott from our marina (summer-time) in NY sent the picture of Autumn Borne leaving Hop-O-Nose Marina in the fog.... we had picked that day (although I don't remember exactly why.... I know it wasn't a Friday (sailor superstition).... anyway... we left the marina, exit Catskill Creek, turned into the Hudson, and the fog was even thicker.... We transited down the river about 3 miles by RADAR, then pulled off to the east in a wide part of the Hudson, and anchored (well out of the channel)... We stayed anchored until the fog lifted about 1-1/2 hours later.... and WOW... right next to us was a rock cliff... not 5 boat lengths away... that we could not see.... Impressive FOG!!!!
more later.
