‘Twas the morning of Christmas—25th December 2012
‘Twas the morning of Christmas and all through the boat
All the creatures were stirring or chopping, afloat
Tomatillos were roasted, by Michael, with care
Hoping delicious guacamole to prepare.
The cheeses were grated, mixed and mashed
With a dashing of port to make a smash.
Formed to a ball and popped in the freezer
To make a sure-fire crowd pleaser…
Well that’s certainly too tiring to carry on for long.
On Christmas Eve afternoon, we went along to Customs and
Border Protection to have our interview for the Small Vessel Registration
System. Hopefully this will make our
re-entry into the US more straight-forward after the winter in the Bahamas.
It’s just as well that we didn’t have a long way to travel for this “interview”.
The chap took our documents and after about 5 minutes came back with the
registration cards. That was all there
was to it! All to the good—I spent the trip to the airport fretting about what
kind of questions we would get….
Today, Christmas, we tried our hand at catching some large
snook that we saw at the marina. Then we got ready to go to Fran and Paul’s
house. We had a great lunch with my Aunt
Aline, her son Charles, Susan and Clark (Fran’s sister and brother-in-law).
After eating too much, we enjoyed an afternoon of chatting and laughing. We stayed long enough that some people felt
moved to eat more food. Finally, we
drove back to the marina tired and happy.
