12/25/14 Thursday Key Largo Christmas Day

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!   I so hope that each of you have had a great day!!  Rod and I spent the day in travel and lots of time texting, calling & on face time!!! So much fun to hear from the grandkids and all about their Christmas day!!! Crossing Biscayne Bay took all day but as Rod promised we would be in Key Largo by Christmas, and we made it!!!!
The wind was bad today but did have it pushing us the entire trip across this HUGH body of water. We made 10 MPH almost all day. A little overcast but still almost 88-90 degrees!!!!
We docked at Tarpon Bay here in Key Largo and got the dinghy down and took a ride over to the park and let Lexie run and play a little and do her thing on grass as she loves to do!! Ha
We just relaxed after the long trip today and talked to Sherry a little to get the scoop on the family day they had. Rod then informed me that the wind had picked up and our anchor was not holding well. He was really afraid to leave us here for the night. So, up the anchor came and we moved about 1/4 mile over into a cove. Where we felt was holding much better and sheltered some from the wind. We now have a longer dinghy ride tomorrow, but that can be fun as it is mine and Lexie Limo ride to land, and we do enjoy the trip! Hehe    Our Christmas dinner!!! Chicken Bog!! It was yummy!!!
Showered and In my Jammys I am set for the evening. Planning to go bike riding tomorrow. It's a must to find some groceries!! Need some fresh veggies, milk and eggs!! The boat must be washed in the next day or so, it's a job, but a mess from all the salt water and crud from the waterway!!  Rod will clean the outside I'll do the inside!!! Even on vacation chores still must be done at some point!!!
We had a good Christmas and I do pray all of our family and friends did also!!! We celebrated Santa but also took time to remember the true meaning of Christmas the birthday of our Lord and Savior. I hope each of you did too!!  The year 2014 is almost over and we feel so blessed to have this opportunity to travel again!!  God has been good to us this year, and He has watched over us each day on this journey. 
Please continue to keep us in your prayers!! 
Much love to all and again, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Fran and Capt Rod
Rod loves sporting no shirt, and bragging about how hot it is!!! Hehe

Right in the middle of Miami bay!! Here was a board of directors meeting of the Pelicans and sea gulls!!
(I forgot to reset the time on my camera after I charged the battery last night, this was taken today) 

We are docked right in front of this resort!, beautiful place!! Of course we did have to move on down  little farther to get out of the wind as our anchor did not hold well here !!!
