PALM TREES TO SNOW!


This came by parcel special delivery for us
this past Monday! What a great gift and gets us into
the spirit of Christmas
We are home for the holidays with family and friends. We wish everyone else Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas with your friends and family for the month of December. We will fly down to our catamaran end of December or early January to finish our provisioning. We hope to leave Stuart, Florida sometime after January 6. This will be our second year down in the Exumas and we look forward to exploring new islands and meeting new and old friends.  

We arrived in Ottawa on Saturday and on the Monday morning we woke to snow on the ground. I had to find mitts, boots and dig out my winter coat..... and the snow scraper. There was shopping to be done and winter tires to go on our car!!

looking out our front door
“Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given—when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.”—Joan Winmill Brown

We will make Stuart by Jan 2nd or 3rd if all goes well. Then we plan to stay in Sunset Bay Marina for a couple of weeks to provision, sea trial, et cetra. Of course, when a good window for crossing presents itself, we usually go with it. See you then. Have a wonderful holiday.!
Steadfast
