Wild weather last night...

Well that was a long night without much sleep... The wind howled, the waves crashed and the boats all danced across and around the dock. On anchor watch in the middle of the night, we heard the Coast Guard a few times on the VHF...

This is not a good marina in a blow like that from the direction it came from, so exposed. I sat in the cockpit for awhile last night planning my escape route. Alternatively, looking at the other side to make sure none of the boats on moorings were going to come down on this.

Calmed down a lot by this morning...This was the view this AM


Unfortunately it was just one of those days. This Trader's boat came into the marina, pulled onto the windward side of the heaving dock, backed in, and then apparently did not have any lines ready. It all went to hell, as they were tossed sideways and under the dock quite a bit....Took awhile to get to get that straightened out with a few crunches. I thought I overheard them say that they thought it would be better in here then out on mooring......


Then Tony from UBS came over, and needed Bazzas help to go tow their boat in. Apparently, they had JUST gotten fuel at Alphonso's and went straight out, only to have the gas they just filled up with be about pure water, and did not make it past Buck Island!!!


We think about now we will just keep our head down and see if we can not be the "3rd strike, you are out" today....

Yesterday afternoon it was still calm enough to go for a dive out in the harbor here, so off I went... I had Groupers....


Flamingo Tongue...


And I scared the hell out of this little turtle who had his mouth in munching away. He left quickly once he realized I was right beside him....


A few spotted drums (?) around...


The eye of an octopus...



A southern sting ray...


Nice little Hogfish. Seeing more around then usual of those lately....


Yeah, more lobster then I know what to do with and I am going to stop taking pictures of them too!


Two HUGE HUMONGOUS angelfish..


And the cutest little puffer that came right up and looked in my camera lens for a minute or two. Not scared at all.


It has been drizzling all day, and is just kind of cold and dreary feeling. I even have the air conditioning off in the boat right now...(I am sure not for long...) I am thinking that movies and TV sound like a great idea, we are down to the last few episodes to watch of this season of LOST, so I think that may be the thing to do.

With popcorn.

And just tired today...Sick of the boat, sick of maintenance, sick of eating low fat low cholestrol crap food that i hate. I think I should stop blogging now!
