Other than going to Safeway for more provisions, we stayed inside the boat. Just too dark and drab out there. It's times like this that we miss Colorado and your clear blue skies. I know Oregon had nice weather, but when will it get here?
I spent the day paying bills and working on a new navigation program. Tracy scrubbed canvas to get out the algae that had settled in over the Winter. She worked up quite the sweat getting it out. I hung them out to dry but with this humidity, it will be quite a while.
The photo at left show Blue trying to escape. Last week we had a big hot spell(95 degrees) so all the port lights were open. They all have screens in them. Blue found the one
that the screen didn't quite fit in. It's on the stern above the berth. It goes out to open air--no deck--no nothing, just water. She just wanted out of the boat to explore where ever she could go. I found her half way out the window when I entered the cabin. As you can see, she has a guilty look on her face. She hustled her butt back in as soon as she saw me coming. She made an even bigger blunder later that week by jumping off the boat onto the marina. Tracy caught her. She came scurrying back on deck as fast as she could and down below deck. We're not sure how she got onto the marina as the gate thru the lifelines was closed and we have a net going just about all the way around the boat on the lifelines. We grounded her for a day--not that she understood what was happening but she hasn't been left alone on deck since then. Snowshoe routinely explores on deck but shows little interest in jumping ship. Shadow has gone to the top of the stairs and no farther. He just doesn't care about going there.
Tomorrows forecast--more rain.
