Happy New Year!

I’m spending my New Year’s Day driving down to the Keys, checking into a marina, and launching the boat. We’ll be staying on the boat instead of in a tent.

This time of year about the only way to get a place to stay in the Keys is to bring a boat. It’s always been pretty tight to get a camping spot, but hurricanes eliminated hundreds of them. There are campgrounds that never reopened.

One of the things about the gypsy life is the constant struggle to find good places to stay -for the right price. It’s surprising how much time that can take. It’s even harder when we have limited Internet and cell phone connections. We have marina reservations for ten days. That should give us some time to figure out our next move.

As for New Year’s resolutions . . . naw. . . not going to make any. I’ve enough plans and projects in the works as it is.
