A full moon (from Joan's iPhone). It couldn't be that she is big and tough - here she is in "stalking mode"...
Does that look scary to you?? ;-)
To vindicate my little furry girl, she and I were walking up on the main sidewalk above the marina this morning. Coming down the walk: a lady walking a small dog. The lady said, "Lulu likes cats!"
I said, "Well, Isabella is usually pretty friendly to everyone..." but held the leash snug, just in case.
Lulu and Izzy got nose to nose... the lady was smiling... I was hoping there wouldn't be a "Hissssss!" There wasn't. They sniffed at each other. Lulu's tail wagged. Izzy's ears didn't flatten. Both good signs. Lulu is a Yorkie/Chihuahua, smaller than Iz. They walked around each other and all was good. The lady and I visited while the furry ones kept a friendly eye on each other.
See? Little Izzy isn't a big meanie.
We are gearing up to head out; moving stuff between the boat and the truck. Joan took everything out of our cabinets, scrubbed the walls and sole, and sorted. The cockpit looked like this...
It won't look like that for long. While she worked on that, I had to figure out how to put an iron-on patch on our Sunbrella windshield cover (no self-respecting boat cruisers carry an actual iron)... I used my propane line burner to heat a metal plate, then used that to stick the patches on either side...
Yeah, no room for a work bench on Wild Blue, either. New snaps for a couple of Sunbrella covers, and she's that much closer to being ready for a long rest.
We had to get as much done as possible today - the weather is supposed to turn this weekend... from our warm sunny days with highs in the 70s to cold, windy, and wet... a high of 59º, 70% chance of rain, and wind above 20 mph. Timing.

I guess we're not self-respecting. LOL! Not only do we have an iron, but a trash compacter and ice maker. :)
You need a bigger boat so you can have more stuff (ref. George Carlin).
Hi Dave - no disrespect meant! ;-) We don't bring clothes that would need to be ironed onboard. I checked with several friends in the marina here... same results. Are you able to get an ascot around that neck brace. ;-O You know, to go with the blue blazer and crisply ironed white shirt. ;-) We little boat cruisers are able to get by without an iron or trash compacter... but we can make just enough ice for a couple adult beverages at the end of the day! It's important to establish priorities! Take care.
Jim
