Before the end of December, we headed south to escape the brutal winter in Ohio. We arrived in Longboat Key on December 30th and found our dear 'ol friends and "new neighbors" enjoying their new 46' power cat named Adventure Us on the Q-dock. Just to warn any potential visitors, Nancy McLean & Ron Doerr visited us in LBK last February and within 4 months had bought a boat & moved it to LBK Club Moorings to be our cruising buddies (as soon as they retire, of course!!).
Ron's daughter, Lisa, helped ring in the New Year on Adventure Us.
We are all so excited about reuniting as "neighbors" after 25 years!!
Nance & Ron were a great help in getting our new refrigerator into the boat. The old one was dead when we arrived. It's always something on a boat!
And the "how" is always interesting ~ had to move the boat to a different slip to get it through the port side window!
She works great . . .
Life back on the boat is again full of peace, tranquility & incredible sunrises & sunsets ......
And walks along the Sarasota Bay . . . .
and around the marina & golf course . . .
and through Joan Durante Park on Longboat Key . . . .
And since "it's a boat", we spent most of January working on Phase II getting her ready for our maiden voyage to The Keys! As Dave says . . . "you've got to be Gumby to work on a boat!"
But installing the new grill was easy . . .
