Ziggy goes for a swim

Unintentionally of course.

We were headed back to the dinghy from the Two-4-One wine bar and it was pretty dark.

Ziggy was her usual confident self, and decided she knew which dinghy to jump to.  Before we were ready for her she takes a flying leap, and misses both dinghies.

“She’s in!” I yelled, along with a few other choice words I won’t repeat.

Ed and I ran to the shore calling her to swim to us.  We could hear her but couldn’t see her it was too dark so we weren’t sure where she was.

Finally Ed spotted her and guided her toward me on the beach area.  She emerged and shook mightily while I stood by.

“Good girl, you’re okay,” I reassured her, really thinking why did you do that again? Bad dog.

No worse for the wear, we dealt with a wet dog that evening.

Yesterday we needed to get s pump out and fill our water tanks, so we came off the mooring ball and headed to the marina, the one where we sometimes sneak in for a free shower.

They actually gave us a free pump out, not sure why, they must feel sorry for us or just assume we never pay for anything.

Since we were off the mooring ball we decided to take a short sail down to Tijuana Beach at the south end of Elbow Cay, then on past Tilloo Cut and Lubbers Quarter. 

It was a beautiful calm day, a number of boats anchored down there enjoying the water.

We turned around, cut the motors and sailed back with only the headsail, in a beam reach and 5.5 knots.

Now that’s the greatest joy.  Next to a free shower, that is.

  1. As much free stuff as you two are getting qualifies you as Bernie Sanders supporters! Where’s my stuff? We are heading back to Naples to visit the HouseCar Tuesday after the Panthers win the Super Bowl!

  2. Go to YouTube and type in Polo Ridge elementary and see a wonderful video by the kids at the school. Three of my grandchildren are in the video. Almost 100,000 views in just a couple of days. It’s been on TV and it’s going viral. Great little tune.
