Woke up this morning to 59 degrees. It started raining lightly last night & has continued on & off this morning. It's supposed to turn nicer starting tomorrow.
Thought I would talk about our cat today (MR Cat/Chardonnay). He has become the perfect boat cat - hanging around the salon no matter who is on the boat! He's been spending a lot of time getting pets, being groomed (by me or him) & sleeping on the settee for a good part of the day - alternating with the floor. Thank goodness for Cat Nap Inn (his boarding pamper parlor) suggesting that we get dog stairs for him a couple of years ago. He uses them constantly to go up & down on the couch - even when company is on the boat. Another favorite spot for him is the deck when it's nice. He walks around the deck & loves to sleep right outside one of the doors. He's also become our alarm clock for his insulin shots & thyroid pills twice a day - 6:00am & 6:00pm. It's like he has an internal alarm clock & comes to remind us to take care of his medicine. This happens even when he's not particularly hungry (he pretty much gets food all day long or else he meows until we obey his commands).
All of the other boats here left by the early afternoon. It rained on & off all day. We read, listened to the radio (music & news) & played games on our Ipads. Rod cleaned the outside windows & railings during one of the rain breaks to remove the salt water from our trip yesterday. Tonight's dinner was the leftover chicken potstickers with the yummy Asian Gozo dipping sauce & frozen vegetable fried rice with the Gozo sauce & canned salmon - all but the salmon from Trader Joes. Very good for an easy dinner! A thank you goes out to my friend, Jan Harper, who went up to Trader Joes with me to consult on things to buy for the boat. She's flying up to the Broughtons in August to spend a week with us.
We watched a movie tonight - Up in the Air, with George Clooney. Just one other boat came in to the cove around dinner time.
