Good Food - Good Company

Today was another warm and sunny day. Lots of boat traffic out to enjoy their Sunday.  We tried to dink with the wind generator to see if we could take the vibration out but all we accomplished was dropping the allen wrenches in the water.  We seem to drop something overboard daily. Eventually we will have an empty boat. Luckily it was partially red and we could see it on the bottom through the clear water. Lee fished from the dinghy for about 10 or 15 minutes with a magnet and finally "caught" the wrenches. At least occasionally we manage to retrieve what goes overboard.

We went over to Bill Sears house around 12:30 and went to his special place for Sunday brunch. Snappers had a jazz musician and delicious food.  We ate on the deck by the water and everybody but me had Eggs Neptune, which is like Eggs Benedict but with crab and eggs. It was good, tasted Lee's. I got a mahi mahi reuben,  good too but maybe not as good as Eggs Neptune. Oh and champagne too.  Bill and I were arguing when the bill came and Sunshine grabbed it.  Lee had planned to but she was quick. We had a delightful brunch with good company. We came back to Bill's and did some computer stuff for the condo we are buying and visited then came back to boat. By that time it was 4:30. I finished stowing clothes and making the bed.

No manatee today but one big iguana posing on a large rock. They are everywhere. Bill says they are good to eat but eating lizard just does not appeal to me. We still plan to leave this lovely anchorage tomorrow and head north in anticipation of a Bahama crossing. We are glad for the time to spend with Bill and loved getting to meet Sunshine. She is a very positive person. He name suits her.

Nice evening breeze should make for good sleeping. Think I will get started on that.
