merry christmas

December 24^th, 2011

Christmas Eve is upon us.  The time is flying by with c & e.  I think they both have some sun poisoning.  Elizabeth is quite adventurous taking the dingy or kayak to go around points of the island.  It is still rough crossing the sound and kirk and I had a bumpy kinda dangerous ride back from town yesterday.  We were loaded down with groceries and laundry.  Christian caught a fish yesterday morning and that was great excitement.  First one caught since we left Maryland.  He has had fun fishing but now has sun poisoning on his hands and feet.  The weather is supposed to calm down today and we may move anchorage closer to volleyball beach as that is where the “service” is tonight.   I think they just sing Christmas carols and do a desert share afterwards.  Anyway should be fun.

I hope to get to town this morning and find some marshmellows to try and make fudge.  The store I was in yesterday only had fruit flavored ones   yuk   If not I have to figure out a desert.  The oven seems to work a little better but is a crappy oven and may never work like a real oven.  Same goes with the fridge and freezer.  Still working on figuring out if the French design of the doors (for looks) makes both the fridge and freezer not close like they should.  The both use a ton of electricity yet the freezer section of the fridge gets all iced over and doesn’t really freeze anything,  ah well  life of a cruiser.  Will check out different ones when have internet.  Also check out lagoon forums to see if anyone else has these issues.

We continue to listen to the weather forecast at 6:30 by chris parker to get an idea of what we can do next week.

Most nights we are in bed by 8 and asleep by 9.  Kirk is working hard at figuring out our next move.  Most likely will involve some overnight passages.    We shall see. 

As mimi used to say  merry ho ho
