Captain's log: 12-21-11 (first day of winter!)

     First day of winter? really?
Moka:  "They told me about it so, I am ready!.....

     Really Moka, It is going to be 82 degrees today and through Christmas so come on out!   There is something really exciting that happened while you were sleeping.  They delivered you a shiny new God!    Some of you may not understand this but, Moka religiously worships at this altar two, sometimes three, times a day. (weather permitting).
      



             Moka:  Isn't it beautiful?  Now let's see ,what am I missing??.... Oh ya, faithful followers to drop pieces of steak, pork, chicken, occasional ribs.  Where is my buddy , Clive?
    Oh well maybe I can train in these chicks.....

Ready girls... 1,2,3, LIGHT the altar!!!

Just as I thought...UNTRAINABLE!   CLIVE, HELP me out here!!!!

 Clearly we don't pay enough attention to our dog.  We are too busy fishing etc.
This is a sail cat. (Dorene caught it)....Quite beautiful ,for a catfish. I thought it was a shark when it first came out of the water. That is one of the fun things about fishing down here. You never know what is going to come over the side of the boat. It may even bite you. Not the top of the food chain down here!
    The cat was very good. I hate to say this but, tasted like really good chicken. Let's see fishing lic., lures,bait, etc, etc, ... two meals, .. that's 50 dollars a plate so far.
   Oh we also got a picture of something that hasn't been photographed in over 30 years. Very lucky shot!!!!



    So let's see , what else has been happening?
A dinghy, dock, taco party! another party! whoohoo, Eh!! (inside Canadian Joke)
         
        And just a parting pic before Christmas. This was just a couple of the boats in the x-mas parade that came just a few feet off our dock last week.
And then.... off into the ...................................Silent Night.


              MERRY CHRISTMAS        every one!

Captain's log:12-8-11

     OK, sorry about that last post. But seriously , weatherwise it doesn't get much better.  It does get a little chilly though. This is a picture of us toughing it out on the dock last night.
Keep in mind that as I write this it is -3 degrees  where I used to call home.

So , What's been happening since my last post?.... well
Impromptu dock concerts,
             Boat show at St. Petersburg,Fl
Finishing bamboo floors in the boat.( Not bad if I do say so myself.)  Moka says,"Speak for youself toolman . It's like walking on an ice rink. I'm probably going to break a hip before this is over."
      
     Homeless man on the beach....

                                            No, wait... that's me....no wait ...I am homeless, so (homeless man on the beach)

watching sunsets....

                                           
Oh. I almost forgot I got a fishing lic. I'm hooked. First time out we caught supper. We were so excited we ate it before taking pictures. Maybe tomorrow pics if we are lucky again. (let's see that's 100 dollars a plate so far)

 Now excuse me while I go wrestle the remote from the dog. I'm not watching Animal Planet one more night.
