Thank you! Looks like the 84mph gust we had moved a piece of the frame for the winter cover, so I have some snow pushing on the cover into the boat. Supposed to get rain tomorrow so I will be able to drain it and fix it this week.

Gorgeous! Where was this photo taken? Its amazing how the snow stuck to the trees!

My wife and I lived in Riverside when we were first married, and moved back to the Cape where I grew up to raise our kids. We loved it there. Lived on East Side of Providence first, at end of Blackstone Blvd off Hope St.

Just back in from a beautiful day taking a relaxing jaunt from Mission Bay to La Jolla. It was in the high 70s, so a bit on the cool side.... :D

I'll take a look on my phone to see if I got any decent pics.

Erik

Funny the first picture is a Bikini contest at Holiday Isle and the pictures I posted are the non nudity ones because it gets crazy for bartenders bash. The second is a group of girls we were hanging around with after the stage got too hot to handle :shock: she was taking pictures with everyone and showing off her awesome butt so no I am not a creeper :lol: you don't have to be in the Keys, two rum runners with two floaters and it was like a live girls gone wild episode. Pretty normal day in the florida keys when bartenders bash comes to town. I didn't post any pictures of the nude girls in body paint which is pretty normal for bartenders bash check out the site http://inkcorrect.com/bartenders_bash_2012.aspx the spray on bikini top girls are there. The police presence is unbelievable their is literally a small army of police there for this event!

This cured the winter doldrums for us, at least for a few days..

Sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale on Liberty of the Seas for a quick 4 day cruise to Cozumel. Felt really good to feel the heat of the sun, get our toes in the water and smell the ocean breeze for a few days.

Did a 5 night Western Caribbean on board the Carnival Destiny 8 weeks ago. My wife enjoyed that cruise so much she has already booked a 7 night Eastern Caribbean Cruise for us on board the Norwegian Epic for December 2013. We'll be on board to celebrate New Years eve. Should be fun.

Mike.

Glad you guys like cruises, not something I would want to do. Rather be on the beach for a week watching my beer gut grow. Alas, no winter get away's for us this year. So I'll just keep looking at your pictures until the snow melts.
