Breakfast Guests

One of the many perks of staying on your boat is having unexpected guests stopping by.  It's not unusual for boat enthusiasts, fellow boaters, interested passerbyer's, etc, to wonder over and ask questions or to simply stop and daydream.  However, a couple of mornings ago, we had guests stop by of a different sort.  I was inside the salon and heard noises coming from outside.  Rather loud noises...so I got up to see what was going on.  Too my surprise, I was greeted with about 50 geese, about 15-20 feet from  the  cockpit of the boat.  I was so excited,  probably scared  them with  my     squeal of delight, and hurried back inside to get our camera.  Of course, I could not put my hand on it, so I grabbed my pad to grab some photos of the geese.  By the time I got back in the cockpit, the flock had moved further away from the boat, but I did manage to get a few pictures.  The pictures are not the best quality...as our camera would have done a better job, but still I managed to grab a few pics to share.

Sunset Dinner on Kittywampus





We are finally able to relax and enjoy the boat!!! After more than a year and half of working to remodel and restore the catamaran, we are taking time to wind down a bit.  This is our first dinner on Kittywampus' aft deck, relaxing over good food and watching the sun set over the river.  Life is GOOD!

Four Generations!

Four Generations!

A good friend told me to publish this picture, as it is such a privilege to have four generations of girls that are together and having a wonderful day!   This was taken on Mother's Day 2016.







Summer Time!

Hard to believe that winter is over and spring has slipped by....June is here.   Captain Man has finally slowed down a bit working on Kittywampus, and it was a busy, busy spring for me.  I completed a Legal Nursing Course, taught a class at the local community college, and I am doing a sort of internship with a local canvas couple, while still working as a nurse part time.  Plus, I am trying to spend time with my daughter and beautiful granddaughter. 

Pretty baby girl and pretty mom!


The boat is almost done and she looks good.  We are hoping to take a long weekend very soon and sail to Ocracoke for a mini vacation.  We will work on her leisurely this summer and fall to finish up some minor stuff, but she is ready to go and to finally have some sailing fun!!

Sailing on the Pamlico!

If the summer passes by as quickly as the spring, Captain Man and I will soon be getting provisions for our Bahamas trip!  We can't wait...it has been too long!!
