Merry Christmas from Florida


We spent our first Christmas onboard Island Spirit at Vero Beach City Marina. We went to the beach to watch the sunrise over the ocean on Christmas morning, what a treat. Then back to the boat for a wonderful breakfast and baking of christmas cookies. The afternoon was spent with 95 wayward sailors who also were spending Christmas onboard and we all planned a pot luck buffet for 2 pm in the marina park. The food was international and very diverse and very good. We had 4 turkeys and 3 hams with plenty of deserts for everyone. This was a new experience for us and our first christmas aboard the boat. Here is our photo of the day...

Hey, Hayden! What do you mean wayward sailors ; ) ? If you mean almost 100 souls away from extended families, seeking fellowship and good cheer at this festive time of year, then that would be wayward. This is where we first met you and Radeen and it was a nice Christmas. We have enjoyed running into you on Island Spirit or in spirit via the "airways" on our own travels. Keep enjoying and we hope that our paths cross many more times.
