Life at Anchor

We’re starting to get settled in here.  Our mornings start with Math and Spelling.

Eric always has a list of projects, he spends his day crawling around fixing and installing things.  Lucky for us, today he installed hammocks! We live in our bathing suits, occasionally switching from one to another for variety and to get dry.

 

Marie is reading a magazine.  It’s still a bit of a struggle, but the kids are starting to do a lot more reading and seem to be obeying the ‘no screen time’ rule.  At home, they were constantly sneaking off and hiding with their little gadgets.  I think that maybe it’s too hot to hide inside and they can’t see their screens in the sunlight, so now they’re giving the magazines and our library a chance. See our dinghy parked in the garage behind Makai.

As far as inguinal hernia surgery is concerned, in most cases, guys give little thought to penis care beyond keeping it clean, and maybe rolling on the protection generic sildenafil 100mg during intimate encounters.

The sunsets have been beautiful.  There are always clouds somewhere in the sky for the sun to reflect off of.  We get up several times in the middle of the night to check on this or that and to use the internet that is bogged down during the daytime hours.  That also gives us an opportunity to check out the stars.  Unfortunately, there are quite a few lights in this anchorage as well as anchor lights at the top of each sailboat which can be a bit confusing when trying to pick out constellations.

 

 

Topaz is back to her old self.  I didn’t want to say anything because I was so worried about her, but she was pretty sick the last few days, vomiting and not eating.  She’s been swallowing way too much sea water from this bad habit of making a splash and then biting at it.  For the last 2 weeks she’s been in the water for hours and hours, swimming with us to the beach and around the boat, just to keep cool and I think the sea water issue finally caught up with her.  We kept her out of the water for two days trying to get her to eat rice and drink pedialyte, and now she’s finally back to eating and drinking normally.  We’ll have to come up with a way to train her not to entertain herself with the splashes. Every time I wonder if I shouldn’t have left Topaz home with grandma, I see her playing and everyone hugging and kissing on her and then I feel like all the hassle is worth it.  During the day she’s usually salty and wet so she has a carpet in the cockpit she hangs out on.  At the end of the doggie day, she gets a nice fresh water bath and her bed is laid out under the chart table.  If it’s particularly hot, we tie her up and let her lay in the cockpit.

This evening we went to the beach with our kid friends.  Topaz clomps up and down the beach looking for little particles that float in the surf.  She really enjoys this and it’s an acceptable activity for a pup that needs to learn not to swallow sea water.  We’ve really enjoyed meeting new people.  Compared to when we sailed in Mexico, the Caribbean seems to have boats from more countries.  Today on the beach we were playing with our Australian friends and then a family with a little baby came to the beach.  The husband is from Portugal and the wife from Huntington Beach, CA.  Wow, someone from home!

I better get to bed before the sun comes up.  The best time to get some bandwidth is the middle of the night.
