Sleeping with my sheet, just in case I get cold

Leaving Double Bayou in the AM

Looking back at the Hurricane Restaurant

Here we are motoring away from the Hurricane Restaurant and the slip we stayed at.  We were the only boat at the dock of 16 slips.  Other than a family of fisher people sitting on the dock, this place was quiet.  The restaurant was decent, mainly women at the restaurant....that was odd for a Saturday night out.

We are sailing!

First time under both sails: genoa and main. The staysail is still at the the Pedro's sailmakers shop - taking "island" time to fix it.

Our condo is pending...I sure hope it sells

The potential buyers already moved their boat lift to our slip. They have not even signed the contract yet. As I see it, we got ourselves a lift. That was nice of them. Joe and Gilans boat is sitting nicely on it.

Unfortunately the lift we purchased has sprung a leak. We have not even moved it out of the sellers slip yet. granted it's been 30 days, probably should do that. But first must go patch the hole in the lift. Joys of boat lift ownership.

I wonder if the boat is still floating...

Need to install a camera so I can check on it periodically...ok ..all the time
