July 27th - Cove

Woke up this morning to only 15 feet of water at low tide under our boat in our cove - this is why only 1 boat can fit in here! (We need 5 feet to not go aground). And, Captain Rod did an amazing job of placing the Lady Lynn when he anchored. There are rocks (& seaweed) everywhere that we did not see yesterday. It was 65, blue sky & sun when I got up at 8:00. Low tide was at 9:00 & that's when Rod took pictures to put on the blog.
Last night we did see a black bear on the shore about 9:00, just before the sun went down & we've seen seals in the water (last night & this morning). It's been amazing here this morning - you can hear the seagulls calling, the flap of their wings, the water lapping against the rocks on the shore as the tide comes back in. A black bear came out around 10:30 (maybe the same 1 as last night) to look for food in a tide pool. Another boat came in looked around & left.
It is so beautiful here that we decided to stay another night. We're doing some cleaning (vacuuming, washing teak floors - cat getting old & tracking his litter box sand everywhere...maybe a precursor to what we humans can look forward to???, changing bedding, showering) and then we'll get to enjoy the rest of the day! Perhaps we'll even get to use our seating on the flybridge for cocktails &/or dinner. So far we haven't been able to enjoy it as much as last year - it's either been too hot or too windy/cool.
Well no "Lido deck" today - the wind picked up this afternoon & temperature dropped to 58. Dinner tonight was my corned beef with sauce that we saved this year (thanks to Greg & Vanessa) & froze, as well as cole slaw. Movie will be Key Largo.
