Since s/v Convivia moved in next door, we’ve been trying to hang out. This is one sunny afternoon in the winter that’s been serving as our “summer” here. Waiting for our friends to arrive… Rolling down the hill… Sooooooo dizzy… Helping Ruby roll. Miles, in the background, has it down. Ruby headed off on her [...]

Things are changing in the marina. If you weren’t from around here, or hadn’t been here in a while, you’d never know. There’s construction of new, lovely docks, there’s a new fuel and pumpout dock, new shower and laundry facility, and some pretty good stuff in the impromptu library in the laundry room.

Jason and I talked about it last night, and while I was not going to [...]

I paused just long enough to pull on some pants and rocketed up to the deck. Where as promised, a young [...]

The Big Marina BBQ (which we were trying to hold quarterly, and haven’t managed since being pregnant has knocked my productivity off) was yesterday. The Marina provides standard burgers-n-dogs and that stuff, and we ask everyone to contribute something, potluck. Blessedly, this Marina is full of Foodies, so we usually end up with some yummy [...]

Not that it surprises much of anybody, but now that the sun is out again, the social scene here at the Marina is hopping. People love a good bonfire and BBQ, and the marina has a great little tree-and-bench-ringed fire pit, three BBQs, and power access from the “facilities” (the bath and laundry house) nearby. [...]
