that were cruising on a Baba 41 (?). They were from Virgina and were a year older than us. We thought they had a beautiful boat with tons of space. Their boat was fully equipped and ready to cruise. They had refrigeration, a Honda generator, a wind generator, stove with oven, a heater, bikes, a fully stocked galley, SSB radio, and etc. They had a neat butterfly hatch above the dining table, which I thought was really neat even with the few leaks. The boat was even decorated with some items that made it more homey, but Jen is an interior decorator so I am not surprised she used her talents for the boat as it would be her home for the time being. They invited us over for pizza made from scratch (dough and sauce) one day and we had a really good time getting to know them. We went out to eat with them a couple times at Hurricane's for wings and Keys Fisheries for stone crab. They really liked the stone crab as they had never eaten it before and they are used to blue crab from Virgina. We learned they were traveling out to the Exuma's as well so hopefully we will see them again. On New Year's Eve, we enjoyed wing night at Hurricane's with GR, Jessica, Gia, Jen and Maxwell (there was a random old guy that came with us, but I am not sure who he was).
Then we went to a dessert
party on the huge catamaran, Tranquility. Leah invited me from yoga class and I thought she was really nice. She has two adorable children, Finn and Maya. We met a bunch 
of people that we had never seen before in the harbor, but it was fun talking with them all about their cruising experiences and locations. By the end of the night, Finn was playing with JR by attacking him. I am not sure how that happened but all of a sudden I see Finn trying to beat up JR, but he was a little boy so no harm was done. It was nice to get dressed up after so many months. I wore heels an all, which was good because the boat was made out of steel so the deck was cold and it was so humid that the dew point was reached and everything was covered with dew. It could have been dangerous with someone slipping, but everything turned out fine. We brought in the new year with several blasts from the horn on the boat, which was ridiculously loud. Everyone I think had "horn envy" because no one else could compete with that horn. JR and I had a really good time meeting everyone. We stayed out until almost 3am, which was super late for Marathon time as people go to bed around 9pm. We made it back to our boat without any issues and we slept well.
