CRUISING WITH BOB AND MARILYN SCHLOBOHM

The objective of this site is to provide some day to day accounts of our cruising life aboard our 34' catamaran "9 Lives". We hope all of our friends and family will join us from time to time and blog with us whenever they have the chance. Happy sailing!! bschlo@btinet.net.

Florida Winter

Things have cooled off quite a bit from what they were last week.  Forecast high for tomorrow is in the low 60’s.  For our North Dakota friends I can here it right now:  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Poor babies.  The wind off the water has been blowing about 18 to 25 and Monday is  suppose to have more with gusts to 30, so I guess I better check the mooring lines.  Sounds like the Bahamas are getting lots of wind too.  We have friends that sent pictures on Facebook of a big catamaran that broke free from its mooring and ended up in one of the marina fairways.  Not a pretty picture.

Last Friday at the local flea market Marilyn saw a plant that she really liked (see the photo) and asked the person selling it what it was.  We couldn’t understand her, so we still don’t know what it is.  If anyone knows, please tell Marilyn

After church this morning we stopped at the Marine bird sanctuary between Key Largo and Tavernier.  They rescue, rehabilitate and release marine birds.  Not very large, but pretty interesting.  

Lon and Jen Romsaas arrive this next Thursday and will be down here sometime Friday after they drive from Orlando.  We hope to sail a little depending on the weather and also drive down to Key West for a day or two.  No matter what, it should be fun to see them.  We might even get in a pinochle game or two.
What is this??

I think this White Heron is suppose to be on the inside of the cage

Who has the right of way here?
