Some good photography also.
Our friends on S/V Ring of Kerry decided to take a chance and leave
the Bahamas. They were able to obtain permission to dock
in Vero Beach, FL. and cleared customs electronically.
As they approached the Florida coast they saw two cruise ships
just drifting around, waiting for permission to dock somewhere.
Now is not the time to be on a cruise ship. We were lucky. We finished the
cruise and left New Orleans on 29 Feb, before it became a hot spot from Mardi
Gras.
I know Marti Gras was a disaster but it seems the spring break thing
here was overblown. If there was a lot of Corona going around you
would think the servers and hotel people here would have it and they
are not talking about an outbreak on the beach. My bet is none of them
had it. That may not be true of the East Cost breakers tho since they
tend to be I-95 people. Our kids are more I-75 people coming from
midwest schools.
I know the democrats will dump on a republican every chance they get
but, so far, Desantis not locking us down doesn't seem to be changing
much. The counties that were locked down ignored it anyway but they
are North Easterners so the law doesn't apply to them. I think there
is a direct line from the cases in Ft Lauderdale and Miami to New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey. It flowed both ways.
