More Trouble and his name is Juan

Yup, all day Sunday, a good day to be cruising, we sat at the dock waiting. While other boats came and went, we sat at the dock. Saturday we did all the engine chores we could think of, so we were raring to go. Gave the cats free range Friday night and they were fine, thought Saturday night would go the same way, but no. All cats accounted for in the morning except Juan. We called and called, walked and walked, posted signs, told anyone we passed, but no glimpse of his furry-ness or sound of his kitten like cry. By sunset, just as we began to despair, who should come sauntering back?  Juan the wanderer.

The day was pleasant though, met some of the sailboat residents and they were gracious with information and compliments for Night Music. Got in a nice long hot shower and slept cozy cuddled til the cats could stand it no longer. Oh yes they were confined to quarters. Sorry for the three who are more well behaved. By the way, Mickey, who had been so very ill last month is doing great. Really, they are fine on board, only Juan is the prowler, so it is hard on him.

Well, Jack is stirring. Time to make ready to depart. This time without incident we trust.

some boats at the the marina, the cute little house boat is the Becky Thatcher. The green hull boat is one of two "Nimbles" both from New Brunswick, Canada. They are doing the Great Loop together. People doing this in land circumnavigation are called what else? LOOPERS!
