Janet puts three more coats of Cetol finish on 'Charbonneau's' teak while in St. Petersburg. (12/14/00)

Janet's brother (Den) and sister-in-law (Debbie) joined us for a sail from St. Pete's to Naples, where we'd spend Christmas with Debbie's father Lee and his wife, Karen.  This is Debbie bundled up (but relaxing) on deck.

Den and Max enjoy a day on the water. (12/20/00) 

We enjoy some cold drinks in Sarasota's Blue Parrot Bar/Restaurant after our first day's sail. (12/20/00)

 
Debbie loaned Bailey her ear warmer.  No, he's not spoiled!! (12/21/00)

Not to be outdone, Den loaned Bailey his hat too!!  (12/21/00)

Charbonneau's tree and stocking are ready for Santa!

We took a side trip to the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford homes and museum.  Click HERE for some pics from that trip. (12/24/00)

Santa found his way down Charbonneau's mast for Christmas.  Looks like Max and Bailey were very good dogs this year!!  That's Bailey with his nose stuck in the stocking! (12/25/00)

We exchanged gifts at Lee & Karen's home in Naples.   (12/25/00)

The day after Christmas was perfect for a daysail in the Gulf.  Capt. Debbie sails Charbonneau in 20 knots of wind -- look at that smile!   She calls this sailing "crazy fast!" (12/26/00)

Debbie's father and his wife, Lee & Karen, were our gracious hosts for Christmas in Naples.  We can't thank them enough for the holiday hospitality.  We tried to repay them with a rollicking sail aboard Charbonneau.  Looks like they're having fun! (12/26/00)
