January 20, 2007
Miami, Florida
Sanely awake this morning, sans
hangover, although when we rolled back to the boat from
Monty's at about 10:30 last night, we sat down, thought 2 or
3 thoughts, then went to bed. We were asleep before
our heads hit the pillow!
There was nice turnout at Monty's last
night to wish us well -- (Click on the pictures to enlarge
them).

There was a contingent from Riverview Marina -- aboard
Chris' "South Forty" were Kim, Brendan, Debbie, and
Chris; and Frank and Leslie (Maggie's kids) drove down
from Ft. Lauderdale.

|
|
Lots of folks from Royal
Caribbean came as well -- and as far as we know, many stayed
well beyond our bedtime!
|
|
Almost the entire complement of Lera Consulting showed up -- Martha and
Abel; Michael and Magda. |
|
Here are some miscellaneous
shots of folks enjoying themselves: |

We have been working so hard
these last two weeks that an early night was called for.
But we loved that so many friends came to wish us well! |

This morning we had planned to
fuel -- contacted the fuel barge early last week and made an
appointment for this morning just off Bayside -- but got a
call saying their driver had "called in sick." Let's
see ... the barge would have charged us $2.14 for
diesel...Miami Beach Marina wanted $2.97 for the same
diesel... at 800 gallons, that was Svein Taklo to the
rescue! Found a marina a couple of hours back up the
ICW and diesel at a reasonable $2.34 (!). Since I had
some Barnes & Nobel gift cards burning a hole in my wallet,
and hadn't had a minute to stock up the library before we
left, I begged off the fueling trip, borrowed a Mercedes,
and went bargain book shopping in Coral Gables. What a
guilty pleasure!
Because we had agreed to be
available for visitors this afternoon, we tied up at Bayside
for a couple of hours, and entertained Susan and Terje for a
couple of hours. Their visit was interrupted by the
world's fastest business meeting -- Martha leaping onto the
boat with a ream and a half of paper, then leaping off
again. Seemed like a total waste of Margaritas to me,
but I guess she had plans.
After visiting hours, we decided
to save ourselves a few cruising dollars and anchor off Star
Island for the night. Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! |
