1.) We made it to Florida. Duh. And we learned that the ICW leaves ugly brown stains on your hull.

2.) We had a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner aboard the boat, complete with turkey (just a breast -- the oven's kinda small), mashed potatoes, stuffing, and fresh baked bread.
3.) We stayed longer than we planned in St. Augustine because it was so cool. We'd gladly go there again (and probably will).
4.) We hauled the boat out once we got to Fort Pierce FL. Haulouts are expensive!

While poor Kevin got stuck with the haulout duties, I flew back to Phoenix to spend time with family and friends. I'd been feeling pretty homesick, so seeing everyone really helped. My friend Catherine had a lovely bridal shower and bachelorette party (Vegas, baby. Vegas.), Jamie and my sisters threw me a fantastic bridal shower. Kevin joined me for the week of Christmas, and we frantically scurried all over the Valley trying to get last-minute wedding things done while we had a car. But by New Year's Eve we were both back on the boat (and in bed by 10:30pm. Yeah, I know we're lame.)
Anyway, most of you know what happens next, but I'll post it separately. :)
