BOOBIES

We've had a full day of booby sightings! Lot's to report today. Boobies everywhere. Couldn't keep them off the boat. We must be nearing land out there somewhere. We had half a dozen red-footed boobies hanging out on the bow today. Took lots of video and pictures from just a few feet away. All was well until they started doing there business all over the boat. So we got the hose out and started spraying them down with salt water. They loved it! Plan B... Scream and shout and clap your hands at them. As Veronica was consulting the wildlife book, she informed me that I was closely resembling their mating rituals. ARGGHHH! John finally took off after them with the boat mop - swinging it wildly overhead as he chased them from one bow to the other. He almost lost his footing with the last booby. We ladies just watched in shock and awe as we stood ready to hit the MOB (Man Over Board) button at the nav station. Things are finally settling down now. We have one last booby that refuses to leave. He has taken his position at the bow sprit. Even though it's only been a few hours, we are all becoming very attached to him now. Looks like we are all in the same boat until we make landfall in the next few days. We have named him Ta Ta. I wonder what's for dinner tonight. White meat or dark? All for now!
