Our dog shared a good walk on the beach. We looked at horseshoe crabs, Sargassum weed that had blown onshore, ghost crabs, and even picked up some shark's teeth.
In the afternoon, many more boats arrived with the partying crowd. The stereos blasted rap competing with some Dylan. Young women were dancing on the boats. People were diving from the tuna towers of the sport fishing boats. It's really a miracle that no one has died here in an alcohol related accident.
Finally, around 6 PM, almost all the boats were gone. A couple that we know was anchored nearby in their sailboat. We later joined them after dinner to watch the moon dance on the water and talk about boats and share stories of sailing.
Now, we are back on our boat and settled in for the night. The breeze is light, and the moonlight is shining on the water. It's time to be rocked gently to sleep.

ReplyDeleteThat photo made me ache for a paddle in the sea.
ReplyDeleteYour sailing neighborhood really doesn't sound too much different from my concrete one. Except we see different kinds of crabs here among the people of the party houses.
ReplyDeleteHope you slept well.
