Went out today for the spring regatta. Not many people showed up. Only 3 boats went out. Me on Sea Puppy, Angela on Valkyr and Jerry took out L.C. Marie. It was really light and shifty winds. We were supposed to head down the beach and run past the Cherry Grove Pier but we were basicaly sitting dead in the water for a long time. By the time the winds started to pick up, Tina the young lady that came out with us on sea puppy was sea sick… Another case of a sick puppy on sea puppy. I turned around and went back to the inlet. Once we were off the ocean and back on flat water she felt fine.
After breakfast I was going to do some work on Sea Puppy. Mainly some cleaning.
However I got side tracked with an invitation to go out on Valkyr, Angelas 38 Down East. It was a great day for sailing .. Flat and about10 to 13 knots of wind. By the time we got back in I was beat. No work done on Sea Puppy but sailing fun was had by all.

This morning I got up and had a nice mug of tea sitting in the cockpit. I got to watch the excitement as a trawler that was anchored near me through the night got stuck on the sand bar near the entrance from the ICW. The Boats US tow boat was out there pulling him off. Actually last night there was another powerboat stuck in the same place that got towed off. I figure based on those two incidences that they make a fortune pulling people that get stuck there off. It’s very shallow accross most of the entrance other than a narrow not well marked just shallow channel.

I took Sea Puppy out today. I was pretty tired and decided not to sail. I motored to the calabash anchorage and dropped anchor. Spent the evening kicked back in the cockpit reading.. It was really nice and peacefull, something I need to do more often.
I ran the anchor light all night and the drain on the battery was minimal. The led bulbs are still working fine.

I spent some time yesterday working on the herb garden walkway that comes off the back porch and wraps around the herb/kitchen garden.
This morning it is starting to look nicer as the concrete dries and the colors get to be a closer match.

Its about 75% complete now and starting to look pretty good. I have mixed dyed about 10 80lb bags of concrete so far to make the flagstones in the pictures. Having a cement mixer makes this doable. I wouldn’t even want to imagine what mixing it all by hand would be like.
