Getting more difficult to keep track of days on the boat, Steve is having a wonderful time and is learning to relax. He is always smiling and happy! Nothing to do but wonder around visit places hang out with other sailors and learn more about sailboats. Steve is on the hunt for another one with more room and an enclosed helm. I have learned that some motor boaters or cruiser people dont like sailors. We dont care, and  I am glad that most people are friendlly and i am going to say hello anyway so  they better be ready! lol  We are enjoying the Pier 60 festival on the beach at night. There are crafts using every type of sea shell, rocks, plenty of jewelry, and i enjoy the live acts the most. Street performers make their living performing on the beach at night (what a life)! Walking down the pier there are all kinds of boating excursions with a salesperson at a booth eagerly awaiting the people walking by to pitch their speech for an “one of a kind fishing trip”, “see the dolphins close up and personal”, “take a ride on our rock and roll pirate ship”, and my favorite “come sailing on our sailboat to see dolphins and marine life”. We just decline but some are so persistent we just tell them we have a sailboat and are enjoying seeing the marine life just fine. I love all the puppies that the salespeople have. There is Rudy (a small Yorkie who is very obedient) he stays in the store at the marina ready to protect his owner at any time. The pit bull who loves to be scratched and petted, the small terrier that looks like Benji, the yellow lab on the cruiser who loves to bark at anyone, Nelda the blue pit who cant wait to be walked (she lives on the sailboat down the dock with her owners), and loves rubs, the cat on the leash who reminds me of Garfield only gray, The brown lab who guards his boat with fervor, and last but not least the mixed breed that looks like a beagle dachshund who just likes to  hang out! When then fisherman come in to the pier at night its like a huge race for the pelicans to see who can walk on water and fly from boat to boat getting pieces of fish the fisherman throw out. It looks like a bunch of children running for the icee or ice cream truck! The beach is always pretty in the morning i am still white as i always have something to do besides lay on the beach,  i am going to have to schedule beach time. 🙂 Have a great day everyone!
