12/24/14 Wednesday Miami, Fla Christmas Eve

Santa is on his way!!!! We have had a great trip today traveled 60 miles fighting a 15-20 MPH wind most of the day!! 88'degrees !!! You just got to love it!!!! Slow day as the majority of the old bridges in Florida are low bridges and require opening and closing for boat traffic every 30 minutes, so if you ar there early you have to sit and wait for the time of opening!!! Sure did put a kink in our time schedule as one bridge we had to wait an hour and 45 mins due to construction on the bridge!!, Rain is expected tonight!! We anchored just south of Miami at Hollywood !! Christmas Eve dinner was an assortment of leftovers, that needed to eaten!! We will contact the kids this evening and see if we can see what they are doing on his Christmas Eve!!! Fun day coming through Fort Lauderdale as it is city of mega yachts and homes!!! Decorations were fantastic!!! Hope for a good travel day tomorrow, sure would like to be in the keys tomorrow but I really doubt it!! Crossing the bay to the keys in a lot of wind is NOT fun!! Rod Is very optimistic and says we will be there!! Hehe    May have to delay!!!  Love to all, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!  Fran and Capt Rod

Got to love it when you want to see snow soooo bad you cover your yard in fake stuff!!  hehe

These people even put Santa ready to go down the chimney !!

OR we could have all just scheduled to get on this cruise ship as a lot of people were doing and go to the Bahamas!!! Our boat looked like a dinghy as we went by!!!  Hehe
