US arrival

After a very long 33 hours of traveling, I finally arrived in Florida and am recovering in true style with lots of adult beverages and catch up talk. We have a rental car for 2 days so have been shopping and getting a good look at Naples . This is the second richest county in America and full of old rich white folks, huge houses & gorgeous shops. I realized this afternoon that I have not seen a teenager or Mum with stroller since I arrived. It feels soulless. The boat looks great and is so comfortable. I have lots to do as 1st mate - trying to get the stores and provisioning organized. Today we did a huge grocery shop and will continue to add things as we go. Almost time for dinner - Huge American steaks & salad. After I will challenge the skipper to game of cribbage and have a very early night as the jet lag is starting to kick in and I'm feeling a little wobbly ( could be the margaritas we had at the dingy dock pub earlier this evening)
