Three Locks done, Nine to Go



It’s amazing to me how cats can keep their heads dry when they fall in the water. That’s two times for Juan, none for the other three this trip. His second fall was at the dock in Aqua Yacht Harbor. We were on one side of a long dock, with several trawlers and motor cruiser on the other side, most of them stern to, several of these slips had been enhanced with a deck added to the end of the slip, so these boat owners had a sitting out area complete with outdoor kitchens, dining sets and TVs. Not sure how Juan fell, I left him playing with Maggie. Fortunately, some of those cruisers have low swim platforms, so he got himself out, and wetly crept home.

Anchored in a lovely cove at Daymark 414 after a cold, wet run down from Aqua Yacht Harbor. Sun came out and the warmth came back. Then woke early, got in a shore leave for Juan then journeyed on. Three locks (nine more to go) and no good anchorage for 20 miles, so spent the night at Midway Marina. Neat place. Got groceries, did laundry, had a lovely shower. Trailed after Juan so he wouldn’t go missing. Rudder post needs attending to then off we go again.

This just in, Mickey has now been christened. The docks here are wood as they don’t need to be floating docks. So we surmised he was able to climb the pilings. Jack is tracing his wet paw marks.
