ERRANDS February 17, 2009

Catrina was very quiet this morning. The Captain and First Mate sleep in. Catrina rocked on the line and wind howled around us. It felt like Sunday!

Tom relaxed with his morning news.


About 11 we dropped Tigger (lowered her into the water) and went up to MCM office. We paid our bill of $2.50 for yesterday’s water to fill our boat tank. What a deal!


Next we headed up Boot Key passing a number of our friends and stopping for a chat.


Brian and Lynn on Midori (PDQ 32)
Anice and Tom on ThomKat (PDQ Trawler)
Colin and Pat on Lady Margaret (Trawler built by Colin’s Father)
Rose and Gary on Rose’s Pick (Carver Trawler)
Peggy and Bob on Baby Grand (A Grand Banks Trawler)
Ted and Pat on South Shore III (Trawler)


We tied up at Baby Grand, borrowed Peggy’s grocery cart and hoofed it to Publix. Tom enjoyed a Wendy Brunch while Debbie hunted for Teva’s unsuccessfully.

On the way back to Baby Grand, Bob came riding up missing one bike pedal. He had been to a marine certification course and lost a bolt in his port pedal.


After such an exhausting day, we took an afternoon nap!


Our goal for dinner was to finish the dolphin fish. Debbie tossed the warm fish in a salad along with the left over rice and ranch dressing. The fish was better the second day! Tom is our hero. He then ate a fish sandwich which ended the leftovers! Peaches for dessert and a quiet evening watching the internet news
