Palm Beach, Florida
12 21 2001
| We spent the
morning, after a wonderful breakfast compliments of the Flagler level club
lounge looking at Marinas that Nancy M. Fyfe, the Flagler Club concierge
suggested. I concluded that Miami is a much nicer location for Boundless
to spend next winter. Of course, I'll appreciate that location
better as well. Palm Beach is not as nice as Miami for culture and
restaurants and rollerblading. These are the things that I'm most
interested in. We also spent some time by the pool today,
compliments of Mike, our attendant who expertly located two wonderful
lounge chairs and covered them with special lounge chair covers. The
sun spent most of the time behind clouds and the temp, although indicating
in the seventies, because of the cloud cover and the winds, felt much cooler.
I am reading The Ultimate Lark, by Jim Lark, and enjoying it
completely. His book interests me and entertains me the same way
that Departures Magazine interests and entertains me every month by
telling me about places I've been or want to visit. Jim owns the
Lark Restaurant, in West Bloomfield, Michigan, my favorite local
restaurant. I find that he has been many places that we have,
enjoyed many meals that we have and sailed on the Renaissance Cruise line,
the RIV, and even stayed in the owners cabin as we did.

| at least at the Palm Harbor Marina there was some activity across the street, a weekly market it appeared. In general, there is far too much decay and abandoned buildings and empty buildings for me to be interested in locating my boat here and staying here over the winter. There just doesn't seem to be anything to do. Even Worth avenue didn't look inviting enough to bother parking the car and getting out to walk the avenue. |
