Alive and Well

Sunday evening, after a delicious meal at Kingfish Grill at the marina, we are back waiting for 60 Minutes to start which has been pre-empted by football, again!  One hatch is open as well as the companion way.  The high today was 77 warm degrees and the forecast stays this way through Wednesday.  As tough as it is, we do our best to deal with it....big smile!

Mark has been sanding and preparing the combing, eyebrow and handrails for teak sealer.  It looks like brand new wood when he's done and spiffs up the boat.  Lu makes sure there's good music playing in the cockpit and that Chester stays out of trouble while the sealer & brush are being used!  Work for about 3 hours and then it's time for the beach and/or a book.

Chester is loving the beach as much as his Mom & Dad.   He chases the ball, plows through the seagulls, picks up the ball and comes back but not before circling close-by beachgoers.  He doesn't stop by them, just circles them and comes back to us.  It's like he's saying to them 'look what I can do'....!
The sound of surf never gets old.

We have discovered a sweet B&B downtown called CasaBlanca Inn which also houses the Tini Martini Bar.  The bar is outside decorated with hundreds of white lights and torches.  Their menu includes about 3 pages of different martinis.  We treat ourselves once a week after dinner!  The drinks are good (that's all they serve) but the ambiance is priceless!
