12/22/15   Tuesday   It's always something!

Now that we're settled (!) in Daytona...it's Maintenance Time...soon. So we're interviewing boat yards for haul out prices. Ta da.

Early morning w/coffee and book, meditating on the aft deck in the warm breezes, a few beauty and order tasks. I missed talking to my dear friend, Judith, but managed anyway. Our friend, Sheldon, came and took us on a tour of Daytona (but not the beach, still waiting for that trip which is a not too long walk). We saw the historic Main Street (perhaps by another name) with tall palm tree down the middle. I was reminded of a scene in the book Dune where wealth of the empire was obvious in the palms which required so much water on the dessert planet. Sheldon took us to a lovely lunch place, Hidden Treasures, right on the water...an inlet (?) among low growing mangroves. We got in a short stop at food store and hardware store, always something to buy at those stops. It was a great visit w/Sheldon. We've been focused on other things during our past several times together so this was a treat. We'll spend Christmas afternoon w/him and Barbara at his house.

Back at the harbor we stopped in to make dinner plans w/Dan and Wendy, back to our boat to get our offerings and back to their boat to dine. They are across the river/ICW at a marina for a couple of weeks...100 yards from where we're anchored.

A FB msg from cousin, Nancy, pulled me into action to discuss "our future" w/ David which led to the continuing research about where to land for addressing our maintenance concerns.

Yep. always something.
