Even though we always tell Santa Claus not to bring us presents, he keeps bringing them. We had fun opening them after breakfast. Roy got a really nice down vest from his daughter Carol, and Carol gave me a nice long-sleeved top. Roy gave me a package of apricots and a book on ropes. I gave him a book on sail-handling.
The day couldn't have been nicer -- clear blue sky and sunshine. Roy was dismayed to find ten quarts of water in the lazarette, but after he took everything out and bailed out the water, no more came in, so apparently it was from the waves that washed over us the other day.
The weather was so pleasant, we decided to sail down the coast instead of taking the ICW. When we got outside, there was scarcely any breeze at all, so we had to motor all the way. Arrived at the mouth of St. John's River around 4:30 and dropped anchor near a lovely beach. We were going to paddle ashore, but the current was so strong, we decided we better not.
What a delightful Christmas day!
