Day 167, January 23rd, 2010
60 today!! Bit scary!!! My dear husband cooked me scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast which was a nice treat. Didn't only do the cooking but all the cleaning up too, while I had another cup of coffee and read my book. Pretty nice way to start the day.
Lovely day, warm with the sun shining. Paul and Sue joined us and we dinghied up the canal a little way, then walked down Lincoln Road Mall to the beach. We were able to sit on the beach and suntan for a while. John watched the scenery and I read my book. Was sorely tempted to try paragliding but these big black clouds rolled in and it seemed better to wait for a clearer day.
We were able to stay there for a couple of hours though and it was lovely before we found a restaurant on Ocean Drive. Just as we sat down on the patio it started to rain heavily. They were able to find us a table inside and had a nice meal. No birthday cake but a shared piece of Key Lime Pie seemed appropriate!!!
On the way back to the dinghy, you can see a picture of me by my new car - a Lamborghini!!! Don't you love the beautiful sunny orange colour!!!! Vroom Vroom!!!! It didn't fit in the dinghy though so I thought I'd leave it right there!
We finished off our lovely day with a drink aboard Twice 's Nice. Good to be together again.

John and Jill, we have good friends Bill and Mary Mursell aboard their Hunter 380 "Southern Vectis". They are from TO and members of RCYC, they are anchored in Maimi, waiting for the weather window, if you see them say high and have a drink with them, they are a great couple from the Ile of Whyte. (spelled wrong).
