When I last left you we were learning how to pin a lip to a tongue. (again, don't ask) Wednesday Norm and Vicki joined us for a road trip to Ft. Lauderdale so we could get our C-map chip updated. (a chip for our GPS) Ft. Lauderdale is the boating capital of the world and full of our favorite marine stores. (cruisers candy stores) After a quick late lunch at a must stop in Lauderdale, Lester's Diner, it was off to Total Wine, a mega discount liquor store to replenish our supply, then we hit as many of the marine stores as we could in the short time we had. What a fun day!
Thursday night was slush night on Chuck and Pat's boat "Got the Fever". Pat makes a mean slush. After getting "slushy" it was time to hit Park Avenue BBQ to pig out on some of the best ribs I've ever eaten. (fourth time we have been there)
Friday we woke up to a gorgeous day so we decided to go for a day cruise and maybe throw a line in. The main reason we wanted to go out was because we had our stabilizers worked on (big computerized fins under the boat that are supposed to keep us stable in rough seas) and we wanted to see how they were working. Well, they performed beautifully (FINALLY) They are working so well we could have put a glass of wine on the counter and it would not have spilled. (HAPPY CREW!!)
Friday night is free roast beef sliders during happy hour at Wahoo's. A group of us went up and as usual had a really good time. (OK, we were bad) Before we left, Norm and Vicki hit the dance floor and practiced for Dancing with the Stars. (Vicki's favorite show) See their photo shoot below.
Last night a cold front moved through (can't you people up North keep your cold fronts to yourselves!) and it has been raining all day with temps in the low 40's and tonight it's going to be in the low 30's. Can you believe it snowed in Orlando. Not to worry, it is going to be in the mid 70's this coming week. A good thing because by Thursday there will be 32 DeFever cruiser boats and about 100 fellow cruisers here for the boat show and DeFever Rendezvous. (Talk about a party!)
Tomorrow evening 15 of our cruising friends are coming to September Song for Mexican night. Margaritas, Coronas and my enchiladas. Should be great fun!

Friday morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and a beautiful day. Let's go out on the Atlantic!

It was a beautiful day on the Atlantic. No fish, but a beautiful day
If we keep going in this direction we could be in the Bahamas in eight hours. Not this trip, but the first part of March we will say good-bye to the USA and hello Bahamas "Mon".
