i was going to just post photos and write "it's little bay - what else is there left to say?" but there were a couple of things to note. or maybe three. consuelo did not make it to the beach. she peed in the dinghy instead. oh well, it's a start - she knows the difference between inside and outside. now to get her to do it on the swim platform instead sigh... no big deal. tom pumped water into the dinghy and then pumped it out with the hand-held bilge pump and we moved on. really, it was my fault - i had made her wait too long. those who know me well know that i have this timing down to a science. it was just so nice sitting up on the foredeck enjoying the breeze and the view. i think i hoped that she might try to do it on the side deck where it would just drain out. oh well...
the second thing was the super moon. we sat up on the bridge after dinner to watch the sunset which was not particularly spectacular - yes, we have those days, too. i turned around and said, hey, is that the moon? all of a sudden we forgot about the mediocre sunset! i sort of felt like saint-exupery's little prince who moved his chair so that he could watch another sunset only this time it was sunset and moonrise. it really was incredibly beautiful.
the third thing was the bugs - AGAIN! we have been coming to little bay for years. we got swarmed the last time we were there and we thought that it was just one of those things. well, we got bugged again this time - only it was ten times worse than we ever had before! everything in the cockpit was covered and in the morning light, the bugs were still there and the ones that had died left little green stains on everything. horrible :( interestingly enough, this time, it wasn't me that lost it and went on a rampage. it was tom's turn. it really put a damper on our little bay visit. thankfully, we have good screen doors so bug entry into the interior of the boat is minimal. nevertheless, there is nothing like a swarm of bugs, whether they bite or not, to make one feel that one's personal space has been violated! NO, I DID NOT TAKE PICS OF THE INFESTATION. GRRRR...
ok, having said all of that, here it is: it's little bay - what else is there left to say?
