we had a couple of stowaways....the lizard and grasshopper seemed to make it back to the dock without incident...unfortunately this poor tree frog hopped out of the boat and into the open waters....I'm guessing that might not be the right environment for him:(
we had a LOT of fun today! J has years and years of boating experience, but nothing prepared him for the conditions here in the Lowcountry...holy moly...expect the unexpected! The dock area itself is a major challenge and you never know what you'll run into....first of all, this is a new boat for us, and it's a lot different than the old Bayliner....it has an open-front hull (instead of a cabin), which makes the front a lot lighter than he's used to...and the new motor on the back is really big, and heavy...giving the back a LOT more weight than he's used to. Further, today, as he was trying to back the boat off the trailer, and turn it around to face forward toward the open waters, we got caught in the strong currents pulling us in one direction, and the wind in the other...we were side-ways. And then, when we were done boating....we had the trailer all set in the water to drive the boat onto, when all of a sudden.....low tide happened! it was that quick, and I had to back the trailer in further:) All good, we're learning!
J also had some work to he needed to do on the trailer, while the boat was off the trailer...which means I got to just sit and float in the boat for awhile...ahhhhhhhh, heaven! And, while floating on the boat, I saw a baby dolphin and a giant sea turtle!!! And we saw a dolphin about 10 ft in front of us out on the water!!!!
this is me.......lounging :D
AND, in case boating wasn't enough....look what happened in my etsy shop while I was out having fun (seriously, this all happened while I was on the boat today):
it pays to have fun :D
a GREAT day was had by all! so grateful
