Kay just beat me at a game of cribbage. We play most days when we're at anchorage around 3 or 4 pm with a tumbler of coconut rum and fruit juice to fortify us. Cribbage, like tennis, or any game between opponents of equal skill is very streaky.
It's been mostly a day of reading. We did a little deck work this morning and I bloodied one toe. I drove my Croc into the narrow end of a deck cleat and it aligned perfectly with a hole in the croc to do its damage.
I have only Crocs and Keens to choose from for footwear, since I didn't feel like being burdened with too much stuff and I didn't anticipate any hiking for this part of the trip. I usually wear the Keens on deck and the Crocs in the cabin, but one Keen got wet yesterday with a wave rolling down the deck. They're out in the cockpit now drying off in the sun and wind.
Things have been going well. The current pattern is for the wind to peak in the late afternoons. It got up over 30 knots today, so we're trying to pick our timing carefully. It's supposed to gradually decline as the week rolls on so hopefully we'll arrive at our next anchorage early before it picks up, then make our multi-day run for Turtle Bay after it eases. That's the plan!

Nothing like stubbing a toe to wake a person up! Ouch! Used to play cribbage a lot with Kay - lots of fun. I can easily imagine your pleasant early evening - sitting with a friend, enjoying conversation, a cool drink and a game of cards. Life is good!
