4th of July ~ Island Style!

Means no fireworks.
No sparklers.
No loud noise (other than what we all made).
All good!

We had a perfect motor out and managed to cross the shipping lanes ahead of two Southbound tankers (yay, didn't have to slow down and wait for once!).
Amazing.
Also amazing?
Only 4 or 5 boats in the anchorage ahead of us!









Three days of awesome guests on board ~ Kim, Barbara & Emma.

Hiking ~ everyone.

Fishing ~ Jim, Kim, Emma.







Mahk the plagarizing anchor dragger bocce ball champ  Mark. 



Knitting ~ me.
Eating ~ everyone.
Drinking ~ everyone except Dave who had non-alcholic beer and Emma who kept sneaking cokes.

Sleeping ~ all.
Swinging (in the hammock, get your mind out of the gutter!) ~ Emma, Kim, me.

Happy hours ~ all.

Swimming ~ all but Barbara on our boat.

Jumping either off the bow or radar arch ~ Emma and Kim.



Friends ~ "E Ticket", "Wainui", "Sweet Lorraine", "Mary Frances" and "Carlina" for about 4 minutes. Am I missing anyone?
Wildlife ~ Some of us  dolphins, birds, island fox.







Bocce ball ~ all.


The fog rolled in.
And out.
And in.
Then out again.
We didn't mind as it was HOT!
It cooled us down!





Fun ~ all!
