Yesterday was a very sad day for me in that Ixnay died. He had been feeling poorly last few days and Thur took him to a vet. Turned out his kidneys had shut down probably from some type of poison like antifreeze. The doc said he probably wouldn't make and he didn't. Was nothing they could do. I'm really going to miss my companion and friend.

Moved the boat to South Side Marina to fuel up and top off with water. Bob the owner is such a gentleman. Took me to the vet, town and shopping. He gives a morning weather net daily and sponsers a barbeque on thursday nights.

Will be leaving to go back to anchorage and get ready to cross the banks tomorrow for South Caicos
