Merry Christmas Eve to everyone! Here we sit in Marathon, which turned out to not be so bad afterall. We have been continuously surrounded by generous and friendly people since we got here and Christmas has been no exception. We went up to the local tiki hut tonight for a Christmas Sing Along. And then came back and made smores and drank hot chocolate while listening to "The Night Before Christmas" on the VHF - definitely a first for us!
Well, we listened until we heard a call over the radio from someone whose dinghy was floating away - and then Brad rushed out and saved the day!
My parents were the Christmas heroes this year and sent us a care package with a mini Christmas tree and lights to decorate our boat. Otherwise, it was hard for us to get in the Christmas spirit with no decorations. Tomorrow we will join the rest of the marina folks for a feast in the main hall. It is sure to be the biggest feast on Marathon with over 200 people attending!
The winds seem to be letting up a bit and clocking around so we are hoping to have a 3 day travel window on Wednesday to cross over to the Bahamas. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Hope everyone is safe and warm on this special eve and enjoying time with their family and friends. Although we are far from all of ours, you are all in our thoughts! Thank you for your continued love and support and remember the true meaning of the Holiday!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
