Liz And the Ya Yas in Marathon, FL

Friday thru Monday, February 2-5, We said farewell to Jim and Martha on Friday morning with hopes of meeting up with them elsewhere along the way. Sharing the adventure with family members and friends is a huge part of the fun. Next on the agenda was meeting up with Liz’s YaYa sisters, Karen, Kathy, and Corky from the Orlando area. Karen and her husband Darryl have a perfect condo facing Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, so it was the perfect opportunity for a grand reunion of friends. Bob probably felt like the fifth wheel, but he behaved, so we always invited him to supper each night. Because of condo rules, he also had to sleep inside. Of course, he didn’t mind spending the night with four Ya Ya Babes one bit!

The condo allowed us to dock our boat along the seawall for the weekend. Suffice it to say that during the entire weekend margaritas flowed freely and laughter was abundant. We went to an art show in Islamorada and shopped at a million little shops. We played Spinner dominoes, ate out, gave gifts, and talked and laughed some more. Bob was named an honorary YoYo.

Unfortunately, Monday morning dawned with high winds, holding steady at 25 mph with gusts even higher. Small craft advisories were in effect, and we knew that Second Wind, with its shallow draft and relatively light weight, had no business being out in it. So even though the YaYas are gone, we can’t leave. According to condo rules we can’t stay on the boat, so we are staying in the YaYa-less Sombrero Ridge condo until the weather calms down, then we will move to a nearby marina.
