Day 91: Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Port to Port: Hudson, Florida

Underway: 0:00 am      Motor Off: 0:00 pm      Miles Traveled: 00      Stayed At: Dock

First Things First: First time kayaking (for Cindy).

Mile to Mile: More of the same today. Went for a walk, had breakfast with Bill, continued cleaning, fixed a few things and went shopping (again). I put some green slime sealer into the dinghy to try to finally stop the persistent leaks. Hopefully this will work since it is impossible to get at the leaks from the outside.

Bill and Kate offered to let us use their kayaks so we went on a leisurely afternoon cruise through the many fingers of this channel community looking at all the boats, boat lifts, houses and wildlife. Cindy was nervous at first but looked like a natural. Now she wants kayaks someday. It was a blast.

We finished the evening with another great home cooked meal – Venetian shrimp with fresh caught scallops and pasta. A homerun ala Bill and another recipe added to the book. Bill and Kate’s Marina and Spa – homecooked breakfast and dinner included, courtesy truck, movie night, free use of power washer and kayaks, the best hot showers this side of Florida, free books to read and pass on, fast internet, great conversation and comedy hour every night – reasonable rates …. Sounds like a great deal to us.
