Well…we are back in SoBe for a week while dealing with the ceased up engine and missing prop.   Big thanks to the Captain and First Mate (real ones…not me and Greg!) that brought our boat back from Nassau to Miami Beach on one engine…a slow 18 hour trip!

Greg and I packed up the zoo and flew to SoBe.  Getting through customs with a cat and dog is no easy task!  Imagine my surprise when I went to the customs counter in the waiting room to let them know our flight was boarding in 5 minutes, to which he responded, “I hope you gave yourself 3 hours to get through this process.”  Gulp!  The next flight out was 6 hours later, so missing our flight with Taz in a carrier and Wiley in tow was not an option.  We made the flight with 5 minutes to spare.  Phew!!!  They also confiscated Taz’s prescription food because it wasn’t in its original packaging.  Ugh on that too!

Boy, did we miss SoBe! We’ve been biking around saying goodbye to our friends, favorite spots, etc. all over again.  However, we are heading back to Maryland soon and are psyched to see our family and MD/DC/VA peeps.  We will make the call on what to do with the boat, i.e. leave in FL or come back to bring it up to MD, when we know more about the issues and timing of getting it all fixed.

So, Maryland…coming home!
