Today we had a quiet, lazy, recharge-our-batteries day. We took care of some logical items in the morning and after lunch we worked on a presentation that Rick is giving to the Saratoga Lake Sailing Club about cruising two days after we get back home. We relaxed until late afternoon when we took a dinghy ride along the edge of the bay, looking for places that we could tie up the dinghy and snorkel tomorrow. Here is a picture of one little beach along the bay.
We were back on the boat when we noticed that our neighboring catamaran’s dinghy had floated away. Its owner was swimming after it. He managed to catch it, get in, and drive it back to the cat. We continued to watch as they fiddled with the dinghy painter, the line to tie the dinghy to the boat. We decided to go over to see if we could help. Their names are Nicola and Ian and it turns out the propellor on the boat cut the dinghy painter. Luckily they do not think the rope is wrapped around the propellor. They invited us aboard for a beer and we sat with them for about an hour sharing sailing stories.
Another chicken dinner aboard the boat. Not the most exciting day but it certainly was relaxing.
P.S. My camera isn’t working yet. It’s still in the rice and I remain optimistic.
I love following your blog Kathryn. Amazing trip and beautiful pictures! Enjoy!
