No Name Harbor till New Years Eve

The picture as you can see is of Diva our friends Margaret and Ben. We met up after Christmas at Dinner Key and now we are both anchored in No Name Harbor. We will stay here until after New Years Eve. Ben and Margaret are still waiting for a window to go to the Bahamas. This year the weather has been difficult for those looking to cross.

We had a quiet Christmas dinner with Doug and Amy on our boat and we went to Christmas Eve Service at St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Coconut Grove.

Two days before Christmas the pull cord on our Honda generator broke. Larry and I walked up to the Shell Hardware store where they service Honda generators but we had to leave it until the part came in. Our plan was to go cruising after Christmas but this put a hold on our plan till after New Years. We are in no hurry it is always pleasant here in No Name Harbor.

Doug came over today to anchor out till after the holiday himself. Amy decided this life is not for her and flew back to Canada. This happens many times for cruisers. Doug will possibly haul the boat and go back himself. We felt bad for them it is a tough decision to make but being sad and uncomfortable isn't fun.

We expect this harbor to be hopping for the weekend, last night was busy with about at least 20 boats anchored for the night.
