On Fridays we have been coming to the YMCA to exercise and use the showers. So here we are again, with more exciting news. Those of you interested in our bird will want to know that Pico flew the coop. We had saved that bird three times and the last time we left it alone on the boat, it was gone. However, I did see it several hours later, in a cage, on another sailboat. We have to assume he is with its true owner. Now Dan has a new friend, just as pretty, don't you think?
This is a blue crab, very common in this area.
Here is another photo of us on our boat, taken by another sailor. This is at Boca Chita Harbor.
Here's another activity we do often... plotting our course, and reading the cruising guides.
We listen to the NOAA weather channel a lot and plan accordingly.
We talk with Ryan and Bryan, the Towboat US captains who must go fearlessly into the ocean to rescue boaters with dead motors or who run aground, sometimes in bad weather. Here's a pix of their boat and the park office. And another pic of our rollerblading walking road.
I should mention that on Thursday night there was a severe storm, but we were safely tied up at the seawall that you see above. We were glad to NOT be at sea, since winds were at 40-50 mph. We had all four fenders and boat secured with five lines. It was still pretty intense for about 30 minutes.
That's all for now. We head back to La Playa Grill for Dan's music gig.
Talk to you again next week...
Dan and Nancy
