Sunrise in Hog Island anchorage. The pink clouds went around in a circle. Was a really nice morning. Most of the mornings are nice till the sun comes up and starts heating up everything in it's path. With the clouds, mountains, breaking surf you would think you were in heaven if it were not so HOT
Kirk talking to Michael taking a break from the nasty, smelly job of cleaning the anchor chain and bridle
The line on the right has been scrubbed. The one on the left has not. And to think this used to be a white line.
Check out the yuk on the boat. i have been unsuccessful at getting the stains out of the shirt even after soaking it in clorox in the hot sun!
The chain was even worse. Silly me did not get a picture of it, but the growth on it was about an inch around the chain.
OK so these are the green beans down here. They are called bodi beans. They grow up to 3 ft from what i can gather from google. They are pole beans and taste like our green beans at home but a little tougher and the pea inside is more like a pigeon pea.
Minnows swimming by the boat in the morning. They cause quite a stir as
Minnows on the fantail to escape the big fish
big fish
they make the bigger fish go crazy. They slap into the boat and jump around. Poor little minnows they were just gonna eat the tee tiny little shrimp that are living on the bottom of our boat (they are about 1/8th to 1/4th of an inch long) and instead these big ole fish come to eat them! They make such a racket slapping the side of the boat with their tails and make big splash sounds. yesterday Michael scooped one up with a net. Kirk got our net out this morning. Now i am ready for the fish!!!
Churned up water from the fish
Here is our arch that Kirk designed. He is so smart. See how my kayak is hanging. So fancy!
Kirk has also designed many different styles of sun shades and rain protectors for both the front and back of the boat. More to come on that.....
