| Last year's post w/this picture was "Baby on Board" |
I can hardly believe it's been a year since our sweet Jib came into our life. Wowza!! Time flies.
 |
| Happy Adoption Day Jib!! We love you so much!!! |
What a blessing he has been for us....we were meant to be a family. I think Jesse is probably very happy for us..
 |
| Check out Jib's ears....just when the winds were picking up...about 15-20mph at this point. We learned from this last hurricane encounter that Jib is completely unfazed by wind. |
So...we made it through Hurricane Sandy pretty easily really, ....We had sustained winds of 25-35mph for about 18 hours....with gusts over 40- 50mph about every 15 minutes. Nothing too terrible.
We are so thankful & are praying for all those who will be hit hard by Sandy....

| Palm trees blowing in the wind at the marina |
So, back to work! The boat projects continue...
 |
| Changing the oil...we ran the engine for 2 hours today...just cuz....it's been 5.5 months since it's been on. What a sweet relief that it just turned right on & purred for the next 120 minutes. We love sailing best, but let's face it...the engine is a vital organ of any boat. Happy ours passed it's physical. |
 |
| Scrubbing the rust off our swim ladder...hope I don't get cancer from the chemicals involved in rust removal... Notice Malaika's hailing port on the boat...Phoenix! Don't see that on too many (any) sailboats. |
Now that Hurricane Sandy has breezed through, a cold front is descending on Florida. It is going to be in the 40's here by tomorrow night. BURRR!!!!
 |
| Sunset in the marina tonight. Red skies in the morn...sailors be warned...red skies at night...sailors delight! |
The change in weather is a brisk reminder that it's time to head south. Many of us in the marina are paid up till Nov 1st & then we're off....OMG!!! Nov 1st is THURSDAY!!! SO much to do!!!
We will be sad to say good-bye to our Hidden Harbor Marina friends. I have a whole blog planned to highlight our fun times here & will post it in the next couple days. Stay Tuned !!!
Love,
Michelle, Scott & Jib

We'd better be catching up with ya'll next Spring or we're gonna lose our minds! =)
Beautiful sunset picture!
Jib looks like such a sweet dog! Hope our little canine girls do as well on board.
