Since we had paid for our dock up until January 9th we spent that time taking advantage of our location and people there. Mr. Manatee let us take a better picture of him. We rented a car one day and had a fabulous hot day at the beach. The breakers were coming in with gusto and we quickly threw our bodies into them. I find that my streamlined hairline allows me to cut through the water very nicely allowing for superb body surfing. Christopher found the waves a bit overwhelming but he was brave at jumping in them if they didn’t crash up to his face. During these days we also got some final preparations done to get out on the water again – first time in a month. It was amazing how anxious we were about leaving the dock. A couple of the live aboard boaters sat down with us to share their knowledge about going further south. These guys have really been around out there so it was fun and insightful to hear what they had to share. Now we are excited to move on. Before we left we also got to re-meet some of the others from a couple of boats who had headed home for the holidays. It almost seemed like we were greeting old friends when really we had only known them for a day or so. Wonder if we’ll see them again in our travels.
