FL in January - and friends

SO, it's January in Florida...thought it would be warm by now... it's always warm in Vero;  we usually wear shorts...


But tomorrow promises to be 74 and  Sunday - 80!!!  whoooo hoo!!!

Yesterday boating friends Conny and Alvin drove over from Sarasota for the day. We met them un the Bahamas last winter, and visited them in British Colombia last summer when we were RV'ing.  They are spending this winter on land but plan to resume their cruising next fall.  It was great to see them.  I can't believe I forgot to take any pictures!

Today, neighbors from home drove over from western FL to visit for the day.  Ali and Charlie have a new winter home in the Sunshine State and are here for the winter.  We managed to get pictures this time!


My super short hair has actually grown a lot in just a week - I may learn to like it.  It's certainly easy to care for!

Lined up on the beach below us, facing the wind, was this flock of Royal Terns.  A few seagulls had hidden in their midst.  The wind was blowing hard and these guys had no intentions of flying.


I think they are waiting for that warm, calmer weather tomorrow and Sunday.

We have finished a few of our projects while we are here waiting for our chart plotter to be repaired and returned.  Luke has replaced our dead microwave and a dead float switch in one of the shower sumps.  I've made a list of provisions yet to be bought.  Smokey has slept or watched the world from the safety of her little world.
