Oscar Scherer SP (Dec 23 - 28)

We are celebrating Christmas here with Joan's brother Skip and his wife Shirley. We will be joined on Christmas day by cousins Dave and wife Marty, and Pam. We plan to get in some kayaking and fishing and a lot of eating. We are hoping the weather holds up for us.
Christmas Eve - We and Skip took our kayaks out in the channel here and headed out towards the Gulf. We fished and paddled for about three hours, but Skip was the only one who caught anything. He landed a nice, but too small to keep, redfish. J & J saw a little action and heard some promising reports, but came back empty. The weather, although windy, was great.
Christmas Day - Merry Christmas. The day started quite cool, with lows in the forties, but warmed up quickly. Preparations soon began for afternoon dinner.
The steak, chicken, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, zucchini bread, peas/carrots, and peach cobbler w/vanilla ice cream were wonderful, only exceeded by the great company. The weather also cooperated, but deteriorated overnight.
