Twice 's Nice is in town!!!! We left the marina this morning and Twice 's Nice caught up with us just north of the Rickenbauker Bridge where they'd anchored for the night. Two little ducks in a row again!!! We motored back up to the Venetian Causeway and dropped our anchors. The wind was out of the SW though and no soon had we set the anchor when an old boat beside us dragged its anchor and was headed for the concrete wall - fortunately the fella was on board, thought quickly and dropped another anchor, stopping just before he wiped out!!!! That was enough for us, we up anchored again and moved through the East Venetian Causeway bridge to anchor again where it was a little more sheltered on the other side. Hopefully we'll be good there. No real sign of good weather for a crossing yet. It looks as if we may be here for a while.
Its good to be together again. We visited the Post Office this afternoon and then came here to the library to get connected!! We'll have supper together tonight and catch up with all the news. John and I were delighted to hear all about the New Year's Day party at CYC!!! Hi, you guys!!!
