The cold has left the Keys and today it was picture-perfect with not a speck of cloud in the sky.

Our day went more or less like this.

Kathy spotted a peregrine falcon while we were walking Kooper. Powerful, quick and beautiful they are an impressive sight. Back from near extinction, in the old DDT days, they migrate through here in the fall. This guy (gal) must have decided to stay for a while. Probably a good decision.

We took pictures of a flock of white Ibis and one brown one foraging for insects. See picture. A la Sesame Street... one of these is different?
Kathy did a session of Tai Chi... I watched.
I filled the water tanks on Ishmael and hosed the deck... Kathy read a book.
Kathy gave Kooper a bath... I answered a few emails about an ongoing crisis at work.

Mahi sandwich for lunch and roast duck for dinner. Nice ending to an extended weekend.

So there you have it ... another day enjoyed. I had thought to use the Car Guys saying of "Well you have wasted another perfectly good day" but it didn't fit.

I have to do some travelling for work...so limited upcoming opportunities for sailing.

It seems we are not taking years off of Ishmael's life due to the heavy sailing schedule... ha ha.
