Thanksgiving on the water

Thanksgiving on the water is a great way to spend the day. We are so thankful for each other and we are so lucky to be able to do what we both love.
The morning was spent in our pj's watching the parade (yes, we have TV when at anchor) and Stephanie doing some pre-Thanksgiving prep work. Later in the morning, and after Cassie and Godiva watched the National Dog Show, (they were rooting for the wolf hound) we put Half Note in the water and went out to explore the amazing mangrove tunnels.
What a great day to be out exploring. The girls were so excited to get out on Half Note again, and they loved exploring the tunnels.
After returning to September Song it was time for the turkey to go on the rotisserie and Stephanie to finish preparing a FABULOUS Thanksgiving dinner. She is such a great cook. After finishing dinner and a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau (the new wine) it was time to kick back and reflect on the day and all the things we are thankful for. We have our health, great cruising friends and family, doing what we love, cruising, and we have each other, the most important thing of all. (and of course the puppies) Yes, they also got a little turkey.

Wildlife on our way to the Mangrove tunnels

Entering the tunnel area

Mangroves are an amazing tree, or are they a plant? They are home to many species of fish and birds. They serve as a nursery and stand strong against storms and protect the coast.

"Are you sure we can make it through?" "No problem!"
