Ok, we are past the prime season for boat camping in SW Florida. The wind calmed after supper last night. An older couple in a nice 40 foot boat (named Sorry Kids) anchored closer to us than we would like and ran there generator all night. Part of me was upset at the disturbing of the natural surroundings, then I became jealous. The bugs and mosquitos became thick. The thought of a nice airconditioned boat sounded really good.
We ran a fan for a while, but shut it off before we went to sleep. The breeze finally came back up and the temperature dropped to the low 70s. Nice for sleeping.
We have a device for flying insects. Looks like a small tennis racket--only the "string" part is metal, and electrified at the punch of 2 buttons. The little buggers make a very satisfing spark when they make contact. We couldn't swing it fast enough in the cockpit last night before we retreated to the cabin.
This morning, Gail is fishing with the last of her shrimp. We are taking home a nice mackerel and a nice spotted sea trout. They will be great on the grill this afternoon. Soon we will load the dink and head for home. Pretty Girl needs a good bath and so will Gail and I.
That's all for now. Pictures to follow.
