Crossing Over

Well, we have had a nice and exciting stay in West Palm. We have been here for a week waiting for the perfect weather window to cross and tomorrow it looks like it is it. We were all planned for Thursday, March 13, but our second mate, Shadow, had different plans. It was 5:30 am Thursday morning when she decided to take a stroll on the docks and then disappear. Clay and I walked and walked all day calling her name and looking for her to no avail. Needless to say I was abit hysterical! We did one more stroll ourselves at 11:30 that night. Got back on the boat, Clay was exhaust, but I stayed up alitle longer when I heard this horrible meow and knew that was Shadow. She was across the dock, under the pier in a drain pipe. Clay ran over to where she was, I dove in with the life ring and we rescued her. Today, Friday, we let her have a lay day. She is in total shock, but slowly coming around. We think we will all be ready tomorrow. My nerves have at least settled down!!! Stay tuned for the latest adventures. I'm too tired to post pictures, but will as soon as we get to the Bahamas.
