Our friends who live in Jacksonville, Chris and Amy, have entertained us at their home, carted us around the town, and took us to Bistro Aix (www.bistrox.com). It's a pretty fancy place for sailors like us. Thankfully Chris, who works at Bistro Aix, guided us through the menu, making selections and providing information on where the ingredients came from, how the food was prepared, the whole shabang. It was a fantastic meal! We also were able to borrow a car to stock up the boat with provisions and to make a trip to the airport. Jerry said goodbye to me on a frigid Jacksonville morning. I boarded the plane for Maine to spend the holidays with my sister Susan, her husband Tom, their 3 kids and 2 dogs. (It was warmer in Maine than FL when I arrived.)
So I'll be north for the next few weeks (hoping for some snow to go skiing) - Jerry will take the boat south (hoping for warmer weather) to hang out with his buddy Dale in Stuart and then to West Palm Beach. Happy Holidays to all!
