The other half...

Out on Wild Blue this afternoon. We were surprised to see that the water was not terribly murky, considering the weather of the past 4 days. We came across our buddy Herb in his Tug and exchanged greetings. Lots of people out on the water today... no doubt shaking off the cabin fever from the last few days, like us. The water temp was around 48º, the coldest I've ever seen here; we came across plenty of fish and sea turtles who didn't survive our cold spell.

On the way back to our place, Joan suggested we swing by the marina to see if Skip was there and get a closer look at his new boat. He was not only there, he waved from the boat and told us to pull into a slip. We swung around to a seawall to tie off and got the tour of Skip and Nancy's boat - 42 feet of comfort and style!


Great view from the fly bridge...


The lounge area...


Skip and Nancy relaxing onboard...


The aft cabin; comfortable and luxurious...


Our planned drive-by to see the boat turned into a nearly two hour visit. Great conversation and fun to see how "the other half" (those who don't trailer) cruise.

It only got to about 60º today - still cool compared to our normal temps, but a welcome relief from the cold, wind, and freezing rain.
