It's going to be Christmas at the Lori' Lei




We pulled in front of the good ole Lori' Lei restaurant yesterday afternoon.  It has changed some since the last time we were there but the bar is still in the same place.  The fine dining building was wiped away via hurricane Wilma awhile back.  Overall the fish sandwich was the best yet last night and our bartender, Hank (he says he is never going back to snow!) grew up in North Syracuse and used to tend at The Cobblestone!  He didn't remember Melissa though....

We saw an old friend yesterday while going through Jewfish Creek.  The Granger's old F27, now renamed Boudicca was in front of Gilbert's so we'll probably see them again.  Overall we have seen more multihulls in two weeks in Florida then we see in a decade in the Great Lakes.....it is good to be among friends!

The water is crystal clear and thin......but we should have a calm anchorage for Christmas and The Chief & Millie are scheduled to arrive sometime this afternoon.

Happy merry!

this is Tami and Jay, who are pleased to own the F-27GS BOUDICCA. I wish we had seen y'all earlier... when you passed, Miz B was on the dock being readied to pull out after spending a week traversing the Keys. We sailed down to the Spanish Channel both inside and outside the Keys. I think this may be Miz B's first taste of Atlantic water - I'll have to ask Tommy G about that.

We feel lucky to have Miz B in our lives and every time we go sailing we admire the craft of the Grangers. We stay in touch with them regularly and we'll say hello for you next time we text-message. (Suzy is very big on text messaging.)

Have fun!
