Captain's Log: 11/11 /10 (Day 55)

Happy Veterans' Day!
    
     With all the excitement of reaching the bay, saltwater and all,  I forgot one very important thing! A lot of you know that the name of our boat is "30 Below" . But 30 below what?  Well the idea was we had had enough of 30 below zero and we were heading to 30 below lattitude. Somewhere today we will cross 30 degrees lattitude!!!! Almost like crossing the equator for us.
      So in honor of that accomplishment nature offered up the following for the end of the day:

Note from dog:
              A big secret us dogs have kept for a long time.........we CAN see color, ha ha!

more beautiful than a cat choking on a furball..........maybe these people weren't nuts after all.
    

OK, so I didn't know dogs could work cameras. I also didn't know that the phrase "y'all" was actually singular. The waitress last PM said, " y'all want wine? " meaning one and "y'alls want water" meaning everyone. Who knew?
     Another first. I actually paid a mechanic to change a stuffing box packing gland. Water was leaking in around the shaft at the rate of about 5 gallons per day. Dorene asked, "Are we sinking?" and the answer of course to be technically correct is, " why yes dear we are sinking." but if we bail we will not sink today.
                                                          And FINALLY!

How's that song go?... toes in the sand.........

That's 30 Below in the slip just above my head. Eastern shores marina, Fairhope, Al.
