…can we get some of these mounted on KJ? I don’t like it when other boats get too close to us and I think this just might do the trick!

Not going to California today after all, thanks to one difficult little organ known as the gallbladder. Bummer! Let’s just yank the thing now ~ it’s of no use whatsoever. I’m not feeling all that well this week. More tests next week and hopefully they’ll do something about it then.

…it’s easier to bounce the ping-pong ball.

The Stewball graced us with his presence at the boat again this week, which was awesome. Still haven’t figured out his reluctance to be here, but happy to have him when he is.

Mt Rainier was particularly fantastic yesterday morning from the flybridge. I love standing up there with a cup of cocoa, watching all the morning commuters going by. They rarely look over, all too intent on their commute. There’s not a day that I don’t appreciate how lovely it is here. Nity notices too; she remarked yesterday on how pretty the sunset was.

Well, he’s my buddy as long as I feed him anyway. It’s a rather conditional friendship…
