What the Heck is Happening

What the Heck is going on with the weather?  I know all of you following us on the east coast are in the deep freeze, but this weather for Florida is crazy.  For the last 2 days it has been blowing like stink and raining.  View out of Southern Style toward ICW Wednesday

                                                               
   Pengi Wednesday morning.  That is the temperature, not the depth. 
                                            

Today (Thursday) the sun finally came out, but it was in the 20's last night and the breaker for the heat keeps tripping.  Pengi doesn't understand what all the fuss is about as he thinks the temps are no big deal.  It has been so cold I had to break out Pengi's cousins, "Mutt and Jeff", the racoon twins to keep my feet warm.


Our poor friends, Dave and Paula, are heading south on their boat, Sequel, toward St. Augustine have been running in the snow and ice.  That is "Just Nuts".

So needless to say Keith and I have been doing indoor activities.  We had a nice yet brief visit from our good friend Dr. Mike Tuesday and into Wednesday.  He was on his way south to Miami to see his daughter.  The three of us ate at a cool spot just down the road from the marina called JT's Seafood Shack; casual and great food.  You can't beat that.  Unfortunately, because the weather was terrible, the guys did not get a chance to do any golfing.  That will have to be some other time.

It looks like after this weekend we should get some sun and better temps in the low 70's.  I am getting anxious to attempt my teak repair, so maybe next week that can be my project.  Until then we hope that all of our friends on the east coast stay warm.  We are all in the same boat right now (pun intended).
