Dylan's new best buddy!
Merry Christmas everyone! 
Today, we had an early start.  At 4am, Connor knocked on the adjacent wall and said, "Dylan is awake".  I am pretty sure he woke up first, pinched Dylan and ran back to bed to wake us up.  He has been pretty excited about the morning, what child isn't.  We 'happily' got up and enjoyed the Christmas morning.  The packages that Santa left said, Ft. Lauderdale as our address and then stroked out to read Bahamas.  Connor thought that was great.  The jolly man also left a mess in our cockpit...footprints, carrots and hoof marks - all to add to the magic of the morning.

Santa had addressed this one to Ft. Lauderdale....then we moved. 
He managed to find us!
 After a full morning of trying to get skype to work (no luck)....we headed to Thunderball Grotto for some great snorkeling.  We didn't even go inside this time as the current was ripping through and you couldn't really get in.  Lots of fish, colourful coral were there to see outside.  It was a nice way to spend Christmas day.   Later, in the evening, the club put on Christmas dinner.  It was a lovely night.  A lot of the other boaters and families signed up and enjoyed the festivities as well.  Most of kids were falling asleep or sleeping by the end.   The dinner began at 7:00pm, a time when most boaters are already thinking about sleeping.  We are finding that we are getting up very early, as the sun is coming up and winding things down early, when the sun sets. 

We are missing everyone at home and hope that they all had a wonderful day!
