Captain's log: 2-19-12

      4 days on the mooring ball! We survived. We learned some things. One thing being that if we run our gen. a couple times a day, especially if it's while the frigerator is running we can stay ahead of our electrical needs and therefore stay as long as we want.  We also learned that we don't want to stay too long. Different opinions of how long too long is. I guess we are more social than we think.
      Speaking of social, did you know there is a hierachy of socialness and it can be measured like this: expensive marina, cheap marina, mooring balls, anchored out, anchored way out. It's kind of a bell curve with anchored way out =  leave me the he$$ alone.  We were in the far corner of the mooring field and every night the "way outs" would dinghy by in the dark , no lights, some motoring some rowing, one guy had a constant full out screaming argument all the way all by himself!!!

      Other than that it was pretty good. sunrise:

     And a few other obviously insane:

The girls and Doug....

Other than that same old stuff... sunsets, etc.

      This next week we will probably be going out on a afternoon/sunset cruise.

 Oh, we also went to a great little marine flea market at Bonita Bill's this AM. Lot's of great "guy" stuff fuel filters, tools, boat hardware, fenders, anchors, etc..........and Bloody Marys .
