The City of Marathon Marina dock master, Richard, hosted a potluck Christmas lunch (1-4pm) for everyone staying in the harbor. JR & I made Spanish Tortillas to share with everyone. We prepared and cooked the tortillas for 2 hours. We enjoyed all the tasty foods that people brought to the buffet style table and at one point we had to really struggle to find space to put out all the food. The line was so long it spanned the entire perimeter of the common room and snaked outside, which many people were still seating waiting for the line to die down. I decided to lend a hand by cutting some pies and I was in the last group of people to get food as the line seemed to never end. There was still plenty of food remaining by the time we got to the tables and we filled up our plates with various types of delicious foods. I have to say that the turkey breast was the juiciest I had ever eaten and I wonder how they cooked it to such perfection. I suspect a syringe may have been involved to inject the bird with a broth of some sort. I think there were over 170 people attending the luncheon and I was surprised we all fit inside with a group of people out at the tiki hut. It was nice even with such a large crowd to meet and talk to different people you don't normally see around the marina. We were thoroughly stuffed from our meal and we returned to our boat to rest and digest. Then we returned to shore to enjoy the music played by a small group at the tiki hut and to chat with friends along with a few new people. We started the day cloudy and had a couple hours of rain, but by 1pm it was sunny and warm. The day turned out to be very nice with pleasant weather and company. I couldn't ask for much more, well I could ask for one thing and that would be to have my family. However, this is the life of a traveler. I don't know how long my trip will last, so I must savor the time and experiences I have when I have them. I know I am truly lucky to be able to do what I am doing right now.
