Our travels have been a breeze with ‘nary a wait line anywhere. Our Portuguese/English speaking limousine driver met our flight with a printed hand held sign and escorted us to our intermediate launch pad, the Sonesta, in Cocoanut Grove. This is our jump point and rendezvous. There was just enough light left when we checked in to visit the Dinner Key Marina across the street. I got a short jog during the late sunset. Some yachts have christmas spirit with colorful lights running up the forestay to the mast head and down the backstay. An old friend will meet us shortly for dinner chow and a stroll here in the district. South Florida. What a contrast this is. Tomorrow our ship will come in!
