DEC 2011 MISCELLANY

We launched Summer Breeze on Nov 18, 2011. The following are just miscellaneous pics along the way to Miami until Dec 21, 2011.


Summer Breeze cleaned up & ready to leave home port Indiantown Marina

Rainy day in Ft Lauderdale, heading south under the 17th St Causeway Bridge for Miami


Kingfisher with supper (thru the smoked-glass forward hatch). Nancy gets credit for this artsy shot; taken as the kingfisher repeatedly slammed his meal up against the stanchion to knock it out so he could swallow it.


Moon Jellyfish


Marine Stadium anchorage view of downtown Miami


Taking kids out to play . . . Miami-style


Summer Breeze can't do this . . . I've GOT to get one of these!!!


Satur morn 12/7 we woke up to the smell of burning fiberglass


And the mortar-like sounds of propane & fuel tanks exploding


*cough, cough* Pics are from the bow of Summer Breeze
