Well- the phone just rang again- Laura says " I'm just rounding the point- be in the marina in about 2 hours"

So I grab the binocs and head for the balcony, look out over the bay and sure nuff, there she is, bout 3/4 mile from the house,  heading up the bay.

Motoring.

Cause the wind that has been so strong all day has totally stopped. Of course she's really rockin' and rollin' cause the left over slop sure hasn't stopped.

So I guess I'll have my lady home tonight, after 11 days out all total. Am I happy to see her?

You betcha!!!

By the way- the "point" is Indian Point, the arbitrary dividing line between Lavaca and Matagorda Bays

I'm glad I have a sailboat—Wind is Free!

don't know about pics. I don't think she took all that many.

At 1842 last evening she slid the boat into it's slip and stopped it RIGHT where I was standing waiting with the spring line- All I had to do was drop it onto the cleat, then walk forward and take her bow line. And had three other men watching Grin

She's definitely still on "sailboat time". We stopped for burgers and by 2115, she was sound asleep. She was up at dawn, making coffee Grin

I suspect her clock will shift to "ashore time" really quickly. She's not usually a morning person, except aboard the boat.

How was your summer in Port Lavaca?  I'm tied up in Jville FL and have thought of moving to the 'land of lower slip fees' for some time.
