First thing Monday morning we moved Kinvara to her new slip at the fixed docks in Stuart. We now have a concrete wall to break the wave action so our boat can rest in peace while we are gone. Our friends, Sandy & Al drove 2.5 hours to pick us up. After a wonderful visit on board we ate lunch ashore at the local tiki bar & restaurant....it was goooooood. We started off with sweet potato fries and a pound of peel & eat shrimp!! By 2:30 we were on the road home. Hard to sleep though without the slight motion of being on the water!!
Tuesday morning Peter was off by 7:30, driving to Vero Beach, to pick up our friends from s/v Meredith. Bob & Connie are leaving in Jan. for an extended cruise either east to the Caribbean or west through the Panama Canal. We don't know when we will see them again but we had a wonderful 2 days at our house visiting. They toured the community we live in and yesterday we went into the "free" Disney. We can park free with our annual pass at Magic Kingdom. We rode the monorail to 2 resorts to see the Christmas decorations, then took a boat ride to the Magic Kingdom entrance to catch the monorail through Epcot. Afterwards we visited Downtown Disney to have fish and chips at the Irish restaurant and then ice cream at Giardelli's. What a good time!

Today we drove Bob and Connie back to Vero Beach to say good-bye. We loved their company and wish them well. The magic of making friends while cruising is that you don't know when or where you will meet again....but the common cruising bond is magic and lasts a lifetime.

| The end to a great day |
