Ladies and Gents, I’d like you to meet April 28, 2008

Wave Dancer

She’s a beaut, eh????  Ahem. Well – There it is – the sweet boat Dan and I are calling home – check out the numerous solar panels, kayak and other random crap that is crowding the decks of our own little Black Pearl. Everyone has been bugging me to get these photos up – so here they are! I’ll try to make Dan take a pic of me with the dinghy – which we refer to as “Dinghy” like its a dog or something. For example (stop me if I’ve told this one before) This morning I was trying to sleep but was awoken by a REALLY annoying banging noise. I yell, “Dinghy, be QUIET!!!” and then run outside to move Dinghy so she hits the bumpers and not the boat. Yeah. That’s life without TV folks. Now that Dan has brought home his little surf ski (check him out on it on the Flickr page) its like Dinghy has a friend to play with. Of course, Surf Ski is definitely playing second fiddle and Dinghy is first place in my heart.  Surf Ski is an eyesore. All the neighbors hate her.

Speaking of my neighbors, Saturday afternoon I was leisurely reading a book, hanging out alone on WD when out of the blue I hear really loud chanting. Think - Monks chanting with music in the background – except they are chanting “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel. Yep – that’s our neighbor Dave. He cleans to this monk CD pumped up 30 decibels and struts around his cat in these tiny little green shorts. After he was done cleaning and the monks were on “My Heart Will Go On” he decided to cool off by jumping into the river. YEAH. That river. Poop City. He splashed around for a while and then crawled back onto his boat and hosed off. Why he couldn’t have just hosed off in the first place I have no idea, but  hey – to each their own.

LOVE
