OFF DOCK & OUT TO ANCHOR

Moody Blues in the middle.

Bimini up, dinghy on davits, we're ready to go!

Oops! Refer not working

Gene had to rush to ACE to get 134 A freon (sp).

Boat in distress, Gene first to the rescue. 

Another dinghy finally shows up to help.

Gene muling the boat to a mooring can.

More dinks show up. Gene grabbing a mooring buoy.

GETTING READY TO 

SPLASH (LAUNCH)

Gene painting the bottom 

of Moody Blues' wing keel

Ah, fresh bottom paint.

Barnacles hate fresh bottom paint!

In the travel lift heading for the water.

Trucker's ratchie straps uncoiled.

Coiled.

Cincher.

Yes, the hooks are strong.

But so are hurricanes . . .

Our neighbor in the yard, 

Rhum Runner, 

out of the water for some R & R & paint!

Speaking of R & R, 

time to celebrate getting launched!

WE MADE IT!

AND WE GOT WET 

IMMEDIATELY!

COUNTDOWN

THE  COUNTDOWN

~ 24 hrs to go ~

Look out Moody Blues 

Look out Grenada

Here we come!

MUST EVERYTHING REALLY GO? 

AN ALL IN ONE CANDLING (EAR) KIT?

GET REAL SUSEA, GET REAL . . . 

SORRY!

HOLA FOLLOWERS,

I've messed something up. 

All, but the Snorkeling and Snorkeling Again, are old posts. 

I can't get to the dashboard of the newer MoodyBluesCruise blogsite I was using, so now I'm forced to use the old blogsite. I'm about to throw the computer and the antenna overboard. Gene too if he does anymore Mars to my Venus! 

Sorry, I'll be posting to here now until I can ever figure out what went wrong. 

Good luck, right? Later . . . 

SNORKELING AGAIN

The driver is George, s/v Wildcat with Jack & Linda, s/v Xanadu. Linda is grabbing the small mooring buoy to tie the dingy up to.

Blue tang with his yellow tail buddy.

Tube sponge.

Venus sea fan.

Hawksbill turtle.

Fused staghorn coral.

Long-spined sea urchin and maybe orange tube coral.

So fun to see how the fish blend in with the rock and coral. Fun times in the water.

SNORKELING

Barrel sponge?

Not real clear, but a few small reef fish.

Smooth star coral.

I got Gene's attention and pointed to this. I thought it was an octopus, so Gene took a shot of it. But it's some sort of coral.

BAD CONNECTION

I'LL POST THIS AND TRY AGAIN!
