We had an uneventful sailing day today…….Why did you have an uneventful sailing day, you might ask? That would be because we did NOT sail. As Peter was readying and reorganzing the boat to leave he suddenly remembered that he left our small anchor at home. You should always have more than one anchor, especially when anchoring in windy rough waters. Then he remembered that he left a connection that we needed for our heater. Soooo, we had to come up with a plan to get him home! My sister Linda Carey Costello and niece Vanessa Carey came to the rescue. Thank goodness we did not motor very far last night! Although our sailing day was uneventful, getting Peter to the nearby Marina proved to be very eventful! He did not want to dock the sailboat at the marina so he decided to take the jetski instead. I will just list some of some of the highlights, otherwise this post would be to long. Someone called the fire department to report that a blue sail boat in the bay was in
distress……OMGoodness! why? I have no idea. While working on something on the Jetski a can of starter fluid fell into the water. Guess who fell into the ocean trying to retrieve said can of starter fluid. (I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t me) Once back onto the jetski, it would not start up, so Peter had to ROW it against the current to get the starter fluid (so he could use it to start the jetski up). I will not say whether or not I heard any expletives coming from the jetski…. so he did finally make it to shore safe and sound, wet and cold but safe. While poor Peter was on land running around like a crazy man(oh how I love him), the boys and I had a much needed quiet peaceful day on our floating home. But, we are ready to go!
