QUEST AND STUART PREPARES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Lots to do!  We drove to Miami, once again, and picked up the blinds.  Boy did this give Dan lots of work to do!  They turned out great but there was quite a lot of “finessing” to do to make the new 2” blinds fit properly in the place of the old 1” mini-blinds.  I love them!!!
DAN DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF INSTALLING AND ADAPTING
OUR NEW FAUX-WOOD BLINDS

All work and no play makes for cranky boaters so we took one day off for an afternoon at the movie theater.  The new James Bond SKYFALL with Daniel Craig is a must see so add it to your list.  What they did to that fabulous Aston Martin DB5 was a crime!

Just to keep boredom from setting in, we had to move from B dock to C dock.  We will now be able to stay here until after Dan returns from his next trip to Vermont.  Yes, we are beginning to “gather moss” and develop the itch to be on our way.

MUSIC AT THE WATER'S EDGE
Stuart does offer much diversion that you can even walk to.  The River Walk is a lovely path to saunter from the marina to the town.  On Sunday mornings there is a small craft fair/farmers market and Sunday afternoon will find scheduled musicians playing for the gathering crowd at the water's edge.

Christmas trees have been lit, holiday banners hung, boats festooned with a wide array of holiday do-dads and the annual boat light parades have started.  While enjoying all of the above, it does seem a bit strange not to be bundled up against the ever present cold of the north-eastern winter.  Mind you, I am not complaining one tiny bit, just stating fact.
