When in the Florida Keys, it's hard to believe it's December and Christmas is almost here. Not to worry, everyone down here is in the Christmas spirit (and spirits). Christmas boat parties, Christmas boat parade, Santa in shorts, and all the boats in the marina are decorated for Christmas.
We kicked off the holidays last night with a party on September Song while watching the Marathon Boat Parade pass by and had Chinese delivered to the boat. Who says you need cold and snow to be in the holiday spirit?
Saturday was such a beautiful day, our new boat friends, Rick and Therese on Cap'tN Hook, decided to go fishing for marlin and dolphin and they invited me to go along. It was a great day out on the Atlantic, but the only thing we caught were a few cero mackerel and one seagull. Yes, I said a seagull. It decided that our bait looked pretty good. You will be happy to know we got it in safely, removed the hook, and it flew off unharmed. (didn't have a recipe for Seagull)
For all of our friends up North fighting a snow storm and cold as I post this blog, it is going to be in the upper 70's here today, a cold front is coming through tomorrow and it's only going to be in the 60's for a couple of days, and then back in the mid 70's again. Are you ready to strangle me yet? Sorry, I couldn't help myself, but I'm so glad not to have to deal with the snow and cold. Be safe up there and throw another log on the fire.

Cassie and Godiva's stockings are hung with care, with hopes that Saint Nick will soon be here.
"Are you sure Santa will find us in Key West on Christmas Eve Dad" Yes, I'm sure. Remember, we are going to be docked just outside his last stop, Schooners Wharf, for his beer and wings. We will leave a six pack of Coors Light out and leave the anchor light on just to make sure.
