Did you know that SpaceX launched the Falcon9 spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center today? This is one of the tidbits we heard about when we visited the Center with Jassa while in Titusville what seems like ages ago. Didn’t want any of you to miss this historic event. The big event at Dot.Calm today was the arrival of Gary and Carolyn Kreutz for the last leg of our cruising journey to Marathon. We decided to stay in Coral Gables for an extra day — with hopes of getting a marine electrician to work on our electronic charts system. No luck with those arrangements, but an extra day to recover from our system-free voyage still seems like a good idea. We had a very relaxing day with Gary and Carolyn. An antipasto snack (sounds repetitive, I know…but there is limited storage space on a boat….you have to go with what you have!) on Dot.Calm’s breezy top deck and a wonderful swim in the big pool at the Coral Reef Yacht Club where we are staying. We had a rather international day, starting with breakfast at a tiny French bistro before saying adieu to Cleo and Jim and ending with dinner at an Italian spot with Gary and Carolyn. It’s been fun listening to people who walk by the boat react to our boat name and the boat itself. One passer by told us the difference between a yacht and a boat: You have a yacht if someone else cleans it…..you have a boat if you clean it yourself. We are on a boat!
