Deltaville Part 2




DO NOT PANIC!!!!! This is not our boat. There was a fire in a boat yard across from us on Sunday. Josh and a couple of guys from the marina went over to investigate. A total of 5 boats burned. Terrible.

On a much lighter note, we went out sailing on Sunday. It was so hot, I just couldn't sit at the dock and roast. There wasn't much wind but we went out anyways. At first there was a light breeze, but once we got out far enough it completely died to less than a knot. It's bad when the jelly fish are passing you! It was so slow that Josh caught the butterfly on his hat. Another bug caught up with us out there. Anyone wanna guess which bug?!! The freaking flies!!! There were so many of them out there, they are slightly different than the ones at the dock. These "water" flies BITE CHUNKS!! Richard (A friend we went sailing with) was bleeding. It's official, I hate flies...passionately!!! But at least we went out.

Today we moved to the fuel dock to get pumpout and top off the tank. Since they have another boat coming in, we're just staying tied here. Kosta assured us that there's 6 feet of water along side (we need 5'7" to stay afloat). Well the tide went out and I can now assure Kosta that there is not 6' of water, in fact there is not 5'7" of water either. We beached the boat. Josh was filling the water tank wondering why the waterline still wasn't touching the water. Not to worry once the tide comes back in, everything will right itself.
