Marina Babies

  There is a little momma duck, we are calling her momma, with 9 little babies, they are just little ones too. We are not supposed to feed them, so we don't. For the most part. They are so cute, when a piece of bread, accidentally falls overboard, the little babies try to get it before it sinks. One little baby tried to get the bread after it started to sink, he was so precious, his little but up in the air, and he tried so hard to dive under the water. Unfortunately it happened again, and again. but he finally got some bread. 

  The baby geese are beginning to look just like their mum and pop, just a little gray in the face, not quite white yet. They are almost as big as them now though. The poppa goose just hisses at you almost the whole time they are hanging out. The ducks and geese like to hang out in the shadows of our dinghy, and Steve's. We keep them suspended so the don't grow stuff on the bottom, and it makes good shade in the afternoon for them.
  They are going to be dredging the marina starting the first of August, so we are going to have to move over to a new slip. Everyone on our dock is having to move. We will be moving to #94 on B dock. That is on the other side of the marina. It is not too far from here, but it is over by the condos, and it is facing the other direction, which means we will have the prevailing wind up the aft. haha. Straight into the cockpit, like when we were in Napa. I don't think we will have to stay there for long. But I don't know how long the dredging will take, or the process it takes to do the whole marina. So stay tuned for more on that later.
