New Year’s eve was a relaxing day spent visiting with
friends. Tom Hess, a former colleague who now lives in South Florida, and his girlfriend Natalia came for a visit. They not only took me on a run to West Marine, but brought us
home grown tomatoes and herbs. We relaxed on the boat watching the cruise ships
leave and talking about old friends at Qualex. We took a dinghy ride around the
neighborhood and fantasized about which house we would prefer.

Evening had us in bed early for a pre-midnight nap.
Just before the appointed hour, the cell phone beeped and Beth got her boys out
of bed to welcome the new year while we viewed a marvelous fireworks display from the cockpit.
