Location, Location, Location... — INDEPENDENCE CHRONICLES

Yes, we feel so fortunate to be located at the Bahia Mar Marina in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The beach, the bars, the restaurants, etc. all within walking distance of the boat. Our friends Connie and Rich came over from Punta Gorda, Florida and we had a chance to relax and enjoy the scenery and some of the local establishments. We really appreciate their visit and it was so great to see them. Larry has still found time to do plenty of maintenance on the boat and plenty of waxing. We head back to California soon for the holidays but will be back to the boat in a few weeks. Until than, we wish happy & healthy holidays to you and yours!

Always on the lookout for a good mural & a good beer…Hollywood brewing had both! The other murals are scattered around town.

These guys were about 3 feet long and engaged in UFC wrestling match. The more mature Iguana (with striped tail) had the weight and perhaps experience advantage over the younger lizard. The loser ended up in the drink!

Happy Holidays to you and yours…Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
