December 25th- Vero Beach, FL

Merry Christmas from the Vero Beach boat gypsies. Today’s weather was a mixture of sun and rain. More importantly, it was 80 degrees. We don’t miss the cold weather.

Xmas morning. A brief shower then sun and a rainbow.

This week we rented a car for a few days. Today we drove to Jupiter for Christmas dinner with family. Driving the car felt like piloting a jet. I’ve only driven once in the past 3 months.

We’re getting ready to move on. I’ve gotten a number of boat projects completed over the past few weeks. Tomorrow, more projects and packing gear. We’ve used the rental car to restock Catalpa. We’ve also contracted a local diver to clean the hull and check the zincs. The plan is to leave Friday.
