When we pulled up our anchor this morning, there was a starfish on the chain, that’s a first.

Weather was BEAUTIFUL on passage. Sunglasses and tee-shirts. Wahoo!!

I made fish tacos for lunch from some sea bass filets from our friend, Paul. Deeeelicious.

I set out my crab trap for the 2nd time. We’ll see.

Did we mention the flies here are naaaastay. And massive.

We had a nice sunset here.
