We were launched on Friday at 12:45 after I had a complete meltdown on the crews that were planting boats in the middle of the road. blocking once again. Rick promptly had us tied up to the pilings so we could shop...naturally he directed traffic and made me back up onto a sandbar, so tonight [Saturday] we are still here because we missed high tide today. Tonight we will drift down the dock pilings to deeper water...its' dark and we are not trying out the Channel n the dark. ICW is VERY shallow and narrow now.
Tomorrow at 7 am we will go under the bridge, get fuel and water and head south to our jump off spot.
And in case we run out of data, here's a Christmas card for you: Have a joyous and Merry Christmas filled with love and laughter, and stay warm!
Our Christmas Poem
T’was
the night before Christmas and out on the boat
The
Schultz’s were sleeping ...no blanket or coat!
The
boat was decked out with all manner of light.
Fake
flamingos and pelicans lit up the night.
Their
stockings were hung in the palm trees nearby
In
hopes that St. Nick would see them from the sky.
All
through their slumber, warm breezes did blow,
But
they dreamed they were back home shovelling snow.
They
dreamed of snow banks, of snow ploughs and ice,
Of
snow tires and ditches, tow trucks...not nice!
They
awoke in the morning and sighed with relief,
Jumped
into the water and swam to the beach
To
check out their stockings. A note they did find:
“It’s
coal this year, Schultz’s for leaving everyone behind!”
They
looked at each other, then grinned and shrugged.
“Sorry
we’re not there, y’all, but here’s a BIG HUG !”
