Peter and I are now at anchor in MARATHON, in the Florida Keys. WE arrived the day before Valentine's Day and went to a wee Chinese Buffet at noon, after find a PUBLIX grocery store to buy some provisions. Now this may not sound like a big deal, but when you've been eating out of cans on the boat for weeks, it IS a big deal.

Our plans are to go to the Bahamas. Right now, he's back is giving him problems but we hope for the best and hope to cross over to the Bahamas in the next week or whatever. Hey, mon. We're on vacation! Slow down. And in a 30 foot Cape Dory, slowing down isn't hard to do at all.

Weather is gorgeous and that's what it was all about. Getting access to computer from now on will be really rare, so I'll contact you again if I can or when I get home.

All the best. Linda
