I learned how to tie a Marlin's Spike (nautical knot)....that was cool
I got a tan (ahem, baked)...that was nice
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the boating/marine type of life style...I think I would LOVE to sail the seas...you know, if I weren't prone to motion sickness and all (no issues on our boat though :D )
**side note: So, aside from watching the anhinga, I've been sitting here, surrounded by very large boats and sail boats....my 20 ft Sea Hunt is a dinghy in comparison...debating if I should give up some of my ice cold water to clean a spill in my cooler.....I won't tell you how long it took me to discover an alternative water source
I also met a new friend...my friend is called an anhinga, and she sat within eight feet of me for about an hour....flappin', drying off, stretching her neck 180 degrees to scratch her tail, scratching her neck very methodically, with each webbed foot......shacking her tail back and fourth....airing out the "pits" ...it was quite an interesting process. And after this almost hour long process of drying off was complete, she suddenly dove into the water, and I did not see her surface. They are incredible swimmers. My new friend is very interesting:)
The kiddos are at Camp Grandma and Grandpa this week....I (errr) I mean, they, were so very excited for this anxiously-awaited day to arrive. J worked hard on the trailer...you know, when he wasn't napping, which apparently went on for hours, because we arrived around 8:30 to put the boat in the water at a private dock....and he apparently did not start the job until around 2:30....so, the boat slip is now rented for the night...no I did not opt to sleep on the boat.....and the job will be completed tomorrow (I hope:).....I had a great day....my sole responsibility was to float on a boat :D
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the coastal life-style!
