We're back to the two of us and Scrappy but we proved that our family of 6 + baby can peacefully coexist in under 650 sq. ft. of living space and have a lot of fun doing it!
Family departed at 10a.m. on Jan 2nd and Captain had guests (Franeys) arriving at 11 to cruise up to Fort Myers for a cocktail party. Yes, I could have killed him. We ran in crappy waves but made it to Ft. Myers by 2 and 11 more friends hopped aboard. It was too cold to enjoy the view from the bridge so we stayed inside the cabin and picked our noses. NOT literally...I found these clever cups with noses printed on them so that when you tipped your cup to drink, you looked like you had a new nose. See the pics to the left and you'll get it. Look, its freezing down here and you have to find creative ways to make fun.
Labelles stayed on the boat that night & the next morning Chris reported a repetitive mechanical noise under the v-bunk. Tom checked the anchor winch, the heater, everything, then I put my head on the pillow and said, "I know that rhythm...give me a minute...ch-ch-cha-chu...it's the baby swing!" Sure enough. He stowed it under the bow and the waves must have switched it on. In seven nights Baby Ella never once disturbed our sleep but she got the Labelles good.
I did a 24 hour turnaround trip home to get Scrappy on Monday. When I left Detroit Tuesday night it was 32 degrees...I got to Fort Myers and it was 38. Does Al Gore feel like the fool he is? Global warming my a$$.
