The view is great!
We got a new bosun's chair before we left Deltaville and Mark finally made it up to the top of the mast. Twice, so far! We know many of you have been wondering if that would ever happen
We've been having a bit of trouble with our anchor light, which is quite a necessity when you are anchoring out. Mark has narrowed down the problem and may only need to make 2 or 3 more trips up the mast to get it sorted out
Julie is still too chicken to go all the way up, but we did hoist her about 1/2 way for practice. She doesn't have that "nesting" feeling yet, but we're going to work on that. We'll let you know how it goes.
We are no longer stuck in the mud. The water finally flowed back into the Coan and we are now afloat again. We've had fun investigating the little tributaries of the Coan in the dinghy and are happy to report it quite nicely transports 4 adults with no problems. Creatures we've seen aloft (other than Mark) are orioles, heron, osprey, geese, and the occasional bald eagle.
Mark has been helping our hosts at the Coan build steps, cut down trees and has even tried his hand at fishing from the dock! Julie has been working on her tan.
