I felt the boat moving and knew what had happened even though the dockmaster said it never would. The tide came in and Paradox floated free allowing the aft portion of her to move perilously close Big C on our starboard.
I got up and summoned my Dad. I put our extra anchor in the Dinghy and took it out a bit. Then we kedged the aft section of the boat away from our neighbor. A new thunderstorm started right after I was finished. I hope it holds.
Terry will be the official skipper since he is the only one that navigates right now.
Ski is Terry's father and will be the first mate since he is the only other sailor.
Debbie, is Terry's wife and will be officially a swab, but she is looking for promotion. [...]
JoAnn is the matriarch of the group and while her sailing titile will be swab she does have 2 votes on the destination committee. The skipper can overrule for safety reasons, but if JoAnn can get just one other person to vote with her that will be where we go.
Princess is our Boston Terrior. Her position on the boat is obvious.
Misty is our miniature chihuahua. She will be our translator in Spanish Speaking Countries.
