L'ORIENT Update
It's been a while since our last post. As our loyal followers in Latvia and Eastern Europe would demand nothing less, it's time for an update........... First off, we still live on L'ORIENT. We have not bought a house, condo nor an apartment. We're a long way from being ready to give up our boat life. We've actually made some friends here in South Beach (we're usually not that social). B-Dock in the Miami Beach Marina is a little piece of Italy.........specifically, Bologna. Some Italian live-aboards have become our "besties". Allesandro (Italian plastic surgeon), Lucetta (gourmet cook wife), and Blu (adorable 4-year old daughter) are frequent guests and co-conspirators. They have exactly the same boat we do........an Amel Super Maramu 2000, so Allesandro and I share boat projects and ideas. A superbowl party, ski trip, and sailing are all planned. We continue to work on L'ORIENT to improve her, and the tempo is accelerating. Spare parts arri
