July 28 Linton still



Listening to the constant but light rain fall on deck; we're safely in our cocoon. We've had to re anchor a few times, as ours was dragging in the soft mud bottom. We had our closest encounter ever--skimming past our neighbors bow sprit. I don't ever want to repeat that! Perhaps we need even more scope for the 40 ft. depths?! And to top it off our windlass wires fused and shorted the windlass to the UP function (the foot switch never worked so hard!)...thank goodness that waited till we were on our last attempt to anchor. M changed the wires out pronto; foot switch is back in service....Thank You very much!
Michael & Kirk went out trolling on Salsa, and caught a nice jack that became sushi; and in the fridge for a few meals. Yum!
We hand fed two of the tall thin spider monkeys on the island; they're so comical walking upright with their tail curled high over their heads.
We thought we might get farther east before heading back to pick Tyson up on Aug. 7, but the seas have been up, and easterlies don't make it fun. We're on vacation, with plans in jello, so hang out in this neck of the woods it is! Great for 'bonding' and going over those Spanish lessons! Sure wish it would sink in!
