Fire Dance

As a sort of going away present, our "water hippie" friends threw an impromptu going away party for us last night. We hope to be leaving within a few days and were pleasantly surprised to receive the honor of dinner (freshly caught tuna) and a show. I was honored to be part of their wedding and have enjoyed our friendship.

The day was full of events for us as Winnie had her first overboard experience. Thankfully we were all on deck and she was just so excited to be playing in the sunshine that she rounded the corner of the bow and "sploosh!" Update on that is she is an excellent swimmer, and was not hurt. She was quickly retrieved, dried off, and given plenty of water. Later she had fun with her "shower" in the cockpit...She is a water loving Chihuahua..and not at all afraid...Oh boy! haha.

The Pelicans have invaded Half Moon Bay! I love watching them dive along with several other species of sea birds..of which to name would require getting out my fabulous bird book Joyce and Barry gave me...

Speaking of which, they have left the docks and have joined us on anchorage. I am so happy to see them across the way and hope they don't beat us down the coast...either way it is great to see them.

All in all it has been a wonderful stay here and we are sad to be leaving some of our good friends behind, but are looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. Being full time cruisers!
