Happy Belated Birthdays TJ and Layla!

 Happy belated birthday TJ! 

                                                                TJ with some friends.

 Happy belated birthday Layla!  

                                                        Layla with attitude!

Apparently my memory is really good in the morning and fades as the day goes along.  I hope you both enjoyed your days and have a wonderful year!

We missed sunrise by  a few minutes but coffee on the beach - a perfect way to start our day.


The wind on the pier was strong and most fishermen had completed their day already.  We did see a couple manatees frolicking in the little cove and even managed a short walk and time on the swings before heading back to pack and check out.


Our next stop on our journey - Dubois Park in Jupiter.  This spot is one of my favorites in the area and with temps in the mid 80s I wanted to swim!
                            We set up for a picnic lunch on arrival and watched the rain approach.  After chewing fast we headed back to the car to wait out the rain.  Within an hour everything was dry so we headed out to walk around the park.

                    And then came the usual afternoon downpour/thunder with an amazingly fast approach.

                                            Yup, we got drenched!

Back to the car to dry off and wait.  Less than an hour later we were sitting in the sun and ready to swim.
                                    The water temp today at the jetty -87!  

                        We shared the lagoon with just a few other people and lots of white Ibis.

We have landed for the night in North Palm Beach with Marc and Molly.  Salmon poke bowls by Marc.  Yum!


National Pet Bird Day.  We have never had pet birds but we gave Nicholas pet birds (2) when he was 2 (maybe 3).  Yup, we were those people (no, we did not ask his mom or dad).  A gift that actually went over pretty well and enjoyed for many years.

Word of the day - chuffed.  Meaning quite pleased, delighted.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...
