Yep, we are still here. Folks ask us why
we are sticking around. Moony reminds us that we are free to go.
The answer is simple. We want to stay. We would rather delay
our departure so that we can explore the Bahamas together.
While we wait, we are keeping our days busy. We work around
the boat, check on Moony's motor, rent a car on the weekend, play
bocce, and read. Still, we are anxious to head South together.

Stewy comes by and peers under the rail to say hi every
morning.
He then makes his circumnavigation of the boat, goes on his rug in the
cockpit,
and then disappears into the cabin. Stewy gives us our 'doggy-fix' and
helps us
deal with missing our 'kids'. Stewy's folks are out of town so one of
the local kids
is staying on board and taking care of him. Stewy is making mistakes.

A new boat (SV Aanawoosh) arrived this week. Three dogs, a cat,
|
and Kip are operating the Pacific Seacraft sloop. He came through Lake
Okeechobee with a stepped mast lying on deck. During the boats rebirth,
the wind
speed sensor was damaged. Wolfgang and Bob hauled him up the mast to
retrieve
the unit. A couple days later we helped him again so that he could
re-install it. Kip
rewarded us with wine and cheese a couple of days earlier.
