We had the boat launched today. Got into the slip and because there was no wind we put the jib (the yellow thing) on. I like when the boat is in the water because it is much easier to get on and off of it (than it is when it's in the work yard) and so I have a tendency to go over to it more often. I also realized that walking back and forth from the camper to the boat gives my legs some much needed time in the sun. They are frighteningly pale. Everyone else here seems to have a lovely color on their legs (except of course Moose, who always wears pants). The only problem with walking back and forth is that every time I get to the boat Darryl gives me a job. Or tries to. I usually just look at him and say "in a minute, I have to keep moving while I am getting a tan!" and then I move along before he can figure out what I mean. With the exception of helping with the jib I have been quite successful at avoiding boat chores. Not that I am not busy in the camper. Saturday I made cookies in the toaster oven which took the better part of the day because you can only bake 3 at a time. They WERE very good though. Today the outdoor work is not so much fun because they are burning sugar cane a mile away and the wind is such that the ashes are being quite evenly deposited over the entire boatyard. I will post a picture. Other than that we don't really know how long we will be here. Perhaps a week or two. At the least until my legs change color!
