progress :)

Look closely....there's a Willis T Cat in those mangroves...next to an empty bottle of Corona Light.  Dern cat.  When the thunderstorm blew up late this morning, he made a beeline back to the boat.  He's now sequestered there until Uncle Kenny comes for him tomorrow morning.  Uncle Kenny is going to have his hands full these last two days.  The boy didn't get one last trip to the Kit Kat Go Go Lounge in before we head home to Indiana on Thursday.

 

 

Donnie no sooner got the dinghy taken down and the rain began.  Boy did it ever pour...lightening., thunder, the whole shebang.  The good news about that is it kept us stuck on the boat, so we got major cleaning and packing done down below.  I feel like we are a bit ahead of the game, actually.   

 

 

Later this afternoon, we went to Kenny and Fran's to play one last game of chickenfoot- the bird is going home with ME to Indiana!  We took a walk around their property before we left, as the sun was shining, and I saw these little puffer fish.

Danny grilled the black fin tuna Donnie caught the other day.  Along with some baked potatoes and the glazed carrots I made, we feasted like kings- again.  I'm going to miss the fresh seafood... Though there were clouds in the sky, it looked like we might have a sunset afterall- so we all gathered 'round.

 

At just the last moment, the sun dropped from the clouds, and the colors were gorgeous.

 

I'm sure going to miss this view, too.

 

After Kenny comes for Willis, we are expecting Pastor Bob and Marcia at about 10:00am.  They are joining us for a cruise under the Seven Mile Bridge, to Burdines's for lunch.  After my last deep fried key lime pie for the season, we will motor through the canals where Marquesa will be docked next door to Donnie's sister's house.  We are praying it is not an active hurricane season!  I also am hoping above all hopes that the weather holds out tomorrow and Wednesday until we can get the sails and canvas off the boat and safely stored down below.  I don't want a repeat of last season where we had to leave everything soaking wet.  Pray for sunshine, people!  Gotta go color my hairs, and check on the last load of laundry :)  G'nite, y'all!
