One of the reasons we love to boat is that we are more prone to make new friends while we’re cruising, Visiting friends in Palm City, Florida, was no exception.

We briefly met Alyn & Diane in our hometown, Traverse City, they also live there part of the year, and we share a passion for boating. One day they stopped by to look at our Ranger Tug, which Jim often works on while it is parked in our driveway. It’s as simple as that and before we knew it (well, actually a few months later) we were visiting them at their home in Palm City, Florida. They found us a dock nearby to tie up to for the night and insisted we join them for an overnight at their home. We had a nice tour of Palm City, shared happy hour and pizza with them and another couple, and slept in a very cozy king-size bed. It was fun, we shared boating stories and laughed a lot.

Diane is a very talented artist, I enjoyed her artwork displayed all over the house. As an artist myself, it was inspirational.

The Bells had a nice dock for Kismet to tie up to during our visit. We used Their golf cart to get back and forth, from their house to the boat.
