Mary Lou has this thing where it's not a vacation until she takes a picture of her bare feet in some relaxing location. So here we are at anchor for the night in a bay on the north side of Kelley's island reading a
Patrick O'Brian novel and sipping on a margarita...
We had sailed over during the afternoon on August 7th and dropped anchor about half way up the bay. As evening settled in all we could see were a myriad of stars and the anchor lights of the other boats spending the night.
Mary Lou always sleeps like a baby with the (hopefully) slight rocking of the boat while we are at anchor. I, on the other hand, never get a good nights sleep - up every couple of hours checking the GPS and popping my head out to be sure the anchor is holding. This particular night we didn't drag at all, though by morning what had been our neighbor in a power boat had drifted almost into another boat about 75 yards behind us.
The next day it was another sail to Put-In-Bay and a night on one of their mooring balls. See us out there? Look for the shortest mast!
Here is Mary Lou, still relaxing...
...and this is a water taxi delivering boaters to and from their boats - unlimited service running until midnight included with the price of the mooring.
We sailed back to the mainland on Monday afternoon, it was another great, extended weekend.
