Just had to share my new bowl that our new friend and neighbor made for us yesterday. Jim from s/v Toothpick, (Jim and Ellen) made this bowl while sitting around visiting with friends. The bowl is made from a frond off a palm tree. He also makes hats which I have seen Jim wear around the dock.

We attended a dinner party yesterday hosted by another couple that we met through friends of ours Ellen and Ian s/v Kasasa. Andrew and Naomi live in a condo directly behind us at the marina but also have a Canadian registered boat named Amizade. We met another couple Bob and Judy s/v Lyon Around and two other gentlemen. We had a great dinner and a nice time meeting new people.

One more thing..... please send me your guess as to why someone would name their boat Toothpick? I will let you know the answer on Sunday night if no one was able to correctly guess.
