This was sunrise on the port side of the boat

and the moon setting on the starboard side of

the boat this morning  !

 

We may have received some bad news today.  Friends of mine, Sharon & Mike from

IL. were/are supposed to be coming out the 4th of January for a few days.  I just spoke

with Sharon today and she said Mike was in the hospital on 12/23 for breathing problems

so he was put on meds and is slowly mending.  If they have to miss the trip we understand

completely, afterall, Mike's health is what's important at this time.

 

Today we did a bunch of running around and at age 59 I had a first.  I had my hair cut by an asian

barber who couldn't speak english very well !  The whole time he was cutting my hair I was

just smiling because I knew he didn't know what he was doing.  In fact he tried to pawn me off on somebody else but I said "no, I wanted him".  He just looked at me like...OK.....I told him I didn't want any more than an 1/2 inch taken off and he just started cutting my hair in sections going around

in circles.  It was kind of cute the way he was doing it.  He was handling me with care and

the best part is, I think it looks pretty good, and it only cost me $23 including tip !

 

Bob signed up for a dive trip on the 6th somewhere out from Stock Island with a friend

of his, Scott.  The dive area is supposed to be anywhere from 20 - 35' with lots of good fish to look at.  Scott's wife is snorkling, so I may go snorkling with her. Scott's two boys just got their certification so they will be doing the diving thing also.

 

It sounds like our Northern winds are coming back tomorrow.  If so, we won't be getting off

the boat again for a couple of days.  The seas are already starting to look angry. It's a good

thing I did laundry today and we picked up a few groceries.

 

I've started pimping out my bike.  Jon & Jen gave us a bell and cup holder for our bike's for Christmas so we put our new gifts on today!  Lookin' good ! I would have taken pictures of them

but Bob dropped our camera and broke it...yeah, you read right....but, not sure how he did

this, he took it back to the store and got his money back.  He told the guy he got it

for Christmas and when he pulled it out of the box this is what it looked like.  The guy

said ok, and took some kind of tool and just smashed the crap out of it?? !!!! 

 

We finally painted our dinghy letters and numbers on Zippy today !
