Back Home
A Frickin Heron!
Back on the Good Karma tonight after being gone for about 9 days. We aren’t completely back to normal as they still have a few maintenance items to finish up over the next few days. At least we can stay on the boat now, it’s back in the water and all the “furniture” is back in place. We had a good tour but got a bit tired of all the restaurant food.
Above is a photo of a heron that visits us every evening. Shelly named him Herman. At night he stands on the edge of the dock at the edge of the dock lights. He stands straight up looking for fish and is at least three feet tall. In the middle of the night he looks like some sort of scary alien just standing there. We’ve been trying to get a night pic of him but he’s very sensitive to motion around him and leaves if he sees us.
Part of our upgrade was an EPA approved composting head (the toilet) that sterilizes waste and allows you to discharge directly into the bay. This is a great advantage as you don’t have to pump out your waste holding tank at the dock service center every few days.
Below is a pic of (a replica of) the America, first boat to win the America’s Cup in 1851. The masts on this replica are actually made of wood, like the original.
Considering an Upgrade…
