I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. As I said in the last post, it is always a time that we especially miss our family and Ohio friends, as we always had get-togethers with all. That being said…we had a delightful time with our cruising family here in Stuart. Hayden and Radeen on Island Spirit scored a great table at the marina sponsored Thanksgiving dinner. In addition to Hayden and Radeen, we had Matt and Shirley on Sofia Jeanne, and Kurt and Sharon on Byrd Ketcher, and a couple that we just met…from Travelin’ Light. There were over 100 people in attendance, and the marina provided turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberries. Everyone attending brought a side dish or dessert. It was really good and we had fun at our table!

On Friday, we walked to the historic downtown area of Stuart to browse the many shops and restaurants, and check out the tree lighting ceremony..complete with acrobatic elves:

\nEven Grady and Bart got to come, all dressed up for the occasion:

Yesterday, Matt and Shirley rented a car and we all went shopping for provisions and some general stuff that we needed, then had a cookout and sing-a-long around the fire with several others here at the marina. It was a great time hanging out. Looking forward, we are going to stage overnight at the Lake Worth Inlet and run offshore to Biscayne Bay\/Miami later this week. We are watching the weather and so far it looks like Friday is the next best day for an offshore run. In the meantime, we will continue to enjoy Stuart, the great weather we have been having, and the great sunsets:
