Abby and Sally

After missing their flight due to bad weather Abby and Sally have finally arrived, flying standby!
No, it's not really that cold that Abby needs her winter parka, or is it? Wednesday was fish fry night, didn't have fish but we did have conch fritters and Abby danced to the tunes.

Next morning for breakfast Sally tried grits and stewed conch (she liked it!). Then into the dinghy and to the square where Abby was wondering if she could get a little lunch from the well endowed statue.

Friday night at the square Abby got more applause and laughs than the limbo man. Then it’s fun at the beach and feeding birds while Mommy is playing with the dolphins.

No fingers were lost.
Dolphin kisses.
Richard is fixing the long boat for its 2nd voyage to avoid being turned into a planter by Betty. Put black sticky stuff down and cover it with a piece of wood, hmm. Me thinks a lot of bailing will be going on. I now own half of this boat – Richard gave me his half. While they’re trying to make it seaworthy I’m hard at work baby-sitting.




The boat has been fixed as much as possible so off we go (properly attired) – Sally was brave enough to sail with Gerry through the canal and then I got the pleasure of constant bailing as we sailed along the beach. Only ran aground once, still have the bruises.

The boat is now in its new home at Nick’s house.
