Jib's new favorite thing..to sit out on deck & spy on the neighbors
Waiting for weather is like watching paint dry. Since we are no longer at a marina, we can't just walk off the dock & head out to check out the town. Usually when we're anchored somewhere we just hop in the dinghy & go to town but due to the dinghy motor theft problem I mentioned before that's not really possible so.....we are on the boat most of the time. Don't get me wrong, we love our boat. I have decided I even PREFER to be anchored more than being tied to a dock. However, we get a little bored. We don't have any boat projects (knock on wood) that must be done before we cross. Scott thinks this has really been his most relaxed week since we left. Sometimes being a little lazy feels good.
Doing a lot of reading these days
We still do little projects...like we now have 2 beautiful lanterns hanging in the salon (living room) which give off the coziest glow at night.
I'm going to do a deep clean of the boat while we still have a chance to refill our water tanks for free. We go for dinghy rides & check out all the insane mansions & Megayachts in the area. Jib LOVES riding in the dinghy. He has adapted perfectly to the boat. He still doesn't like water too much though. And his land manners need some work. He's struggling with the leash thing.
All I want for Christmas is to make it to the Bahamas!! That's our Christmas wish this year...hope it comes true!
Missing everyone so much!!!! Especially as Christmas gets closer...
We have met some very nice people here & had a great time at Happy Hour this weekend. Not the same as being with friends & family during the holidays but it helps. :)
Look at the dinghy line up for Happy Hour on s/v Bella Sera from Maryland. Thanks Bob & Chel for hosting!
Much Love--Michelle, Scott, & Jib. XXXOOO

You're smart! Although your boat can take quite a thrashing, there's no need to be so uncomfortable during the crossing. Jib looks like a heck of a boat doggie now. Suck up the peace and quiet while you can. You now see that boat life is long intervals of lazy boredom interspersed with short bits if intense stress!
