We are enjoying a down day at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club. It is a very nice club with a large, mostly social, membership.
The club is decorated up for Christmas and Carol wishes she had a short sleeve Christmas shirt for the picture.
Today we enjoyed a morning swim in the heated pool right next to the ICW followed by a great outdoor lunch featuring very fresh fish. I also got some time on a treadmill in the well equipped gym. The only issue here is the proximity to the ICW which is hard bulkheaded in this area. Even though boats traverse at low speeds, the wake reverberates forever and it can get uncomfortable aboard. Not very many Coral Ridge members sleep aboard.
I spent an hour or so cleaning up the boat. A great product introduced to me by a power boater in Titusville may be of interest to boaters reading this. It's called Salt Away and sold by West Marine. I'd never heard of it. You attach a mixing accessory to your hose and fill the jar with Salt Away liquid. You just spray the boat with a frothy mixture and don't rinse. When it drys the whole boat sparkles!
The current round of ecomomic problems seem to be hitting South Florida particularly hard. Lots of For Sale signs and stories of fortunes being lost in the real estate market.
