Cooking Christmas dinner on the boat
It's our first really notable dinner on the boat as a married couple. Stacie did a great job of making her traditional Christmas Turkey Dinner, She even made a nice Pumpkin Pie. Too bad I was distracted by all the great smells, otherwise I'd have taken a few pictures to share.
Out on the town Christmas night
Trying to get a start on new traditions, Stacie and I decided to take a walk through the small downtown of Fernandina to see who was open. We didn't find much in the way of restaurants, but we did find a few bars open. O'Kanes Irish Pub had karaoke, Dog Star had an old school DJ, and finally at the Palace Saloon we found some pool tables.
Leaving for the jump down the coast
The next phase of our trip is to take a quick run down the coast, to either Cape Canaveral or Ponce Inlet. Because we are going to be running for a solid 30+ hours, a Friend of ours will be coming down for the offshore sail. We're hopeful for favorable winds and keeping those forecasted thunderstorms away from us.

A day on Jekyll Island
It's been a while...
Lots has happend since last posting, that we'd be spending some time in Georga. Stacie and I flew our kids down to Miami for our wedding... Yes, wedding. We planned on having Lasata down in Miami, but alas the weather gods and work schedule foiled our plans. Never the less, we pulled off a nice beach wedding and are now married (12/12/12).
Back in Georgia, we made a few minor repairs around the boat and did some last minute provisioning. The next phase will put us into Florida and possibly beyond. We're looking forward to Christmas aboard, and heading off to warmer weather.
Before we cast off this weekend for Christmas in Florida, we decided to take a day on Jekyll Island.
For $6 this was a no brainer; an Island with a quaint historic distric, hiking trails, and an abundance of wildlife it was on our must-do list. We spent the afternoon walking on a beach full of some amazing driftwood, and watched dolphins chasing fish up onto the beach.
Being off-season, the place was relatively deserted. We will certainly make a special attempt at getting back here in the spring or early summer.
