Palmetto, Florida

We traveled 45.8 NM under beautiful skies to Palmetto, Florida. We are docked just 12' from our dear friends (family) Debbie and Scott, aboard Liv'n A Dream, at Riviera Dunes Marina. They have been our boating friends for over 11 years when we all had boats at Eagle Mountain Lake in Texas. They have been full-time Liveaboards and Floridians for two years now. It's awesome to be docked together in Florida at their home port!

This boater is having a very bad day and no one seems concerned.

Reunited with Debbie and Scott for Bloody Mary's once again! (We are missing Gail!). Thank you Debbie for an amazing clam linquini dinner (which I forgot to take a photo of because we were to involved in catching up!)

Beautiful night with "family".
