Update Jan, 11 2024 – After a 3 week stay at Orlando RV Resort in Clermont, we headed south on 12/31/2023 to Wellington, west of West Palm Beach where we can stay at our friends property. Here we met with our friends on the first of January. Maria cooked an excellent lunch and we had a great time. One day Claus and I went boating to Peanut Island in the intra coastal near Riviera Beach. We had sack lunch and enjoyed a nice walk on Peanut Island where we saw some Manatees. On the way back to the Marina we saw a variety of boats, motorboats, sailboats, Catamarans,and lots of mega yachts; great window shopping….
Claus showed me where FPL has build a Visitor Center and a Manatee viewing area at the warm water outlet of a power plant. Maria and I drove there one day and were impressed by the provided information about Manatees. We saw some Manatees, unfortunately they were pretty far way from us, so they were just shadows in the water.
Wellington Environmental Preserve is close to were we stay, so we took our bikes there and watched some wildlife, mostly birds.
Yesterday we were invited for Brunch by our friends and Maria met up with a friend who was in town. They had not seen each other for about 20 years and the connection was still there. We had some great conversations and stayed for about 6 hours!!! A good time was had by every body.
We also stopped at our “landlords” house to bid our “Good Bye, until next time” since we are moving north on Friday. Our next destination is in Deltona, FL where we can “Moochdock” in the driveway of our friends Pam and Jim.
Until next update,
Maria and Bernhard
