Blonde Bombshell invades Beach



Thursday, January 09, 2014
     Two sails are up now, the Yankee and the main. The tank is topped off with water and the fuel is also topped off. We tried listening to Chris Parker again on the computer but the signal from the marina seems to come and go. It’s usually at the time when he’s talking about our area! We traded MMSI numbers with Sheilah and calling and receiving each other over the DSC on the radio seems to work fine. One more sail to get up (the main), reefing lines to put in, and we need to get our Bruce Van Sant book back. Then we’re about ready to start the northwest trek back to the states.
     We saw Morgan Freeman wandering down the dock again this morning, as we were wandering about and said hi to him. Nice fellow. I didn’t realize the extent of the damage to his hand he sustained in his car accident a few years back. It was gloved and looked like a prosthetic – a bit smaller than it should have been.  It’s definitely got to be rough on him… He’s an avid flyer and sailor. With his dominant hand not functioning correctly it really has to be a major problem if he was ever a single handler.
 
Time for a walk down the beach to explore the rocks and look for sea debris
      We took a walk from the marina, east along the road, then down to the ferry dock. There’s a beach next to it that I’d been to with Stephanie last year.  Wayne sat at a table with a palm thatched umbrella while I went to explore the rocks at the end.  I’d found a penny and a well patina’d quarter but no doubloons. Coming back I noticed a buxom blond in a white bikini wading in the water in front of Wayne. Since I was wading in the water back, I stopped and chatted with her.  She said she was from New York, originally from Germany and had traveled to Hawaii and was getting ready to head back to the states. Was I from Virgin Gorda? Nope. I’m from Michigan but living here on a boat for a bit.  Told her she really didn’t want to go back to New York – it was cold. She was enjoying the sun in a sun worshipper kind of way, talking about Americans can be such prudes, and she likes travel. Hmmm… She then said she had to catch the ferry and went ashore and threw on a sun dress/tshirt and headed to the ferry.  I think she made Wayne’s day I later found out, by asking if he’d be offended if she wore her bikini  in the water… Huh? He figured she was asking about not wearing it in the water… confusing…  No of course he wouldn’t be offended. But she was built like a brick you know what and was strutting her stuff to her best advantage. Quite a lovely creature, with strategically placed tattoos.  One a beautiful dragon. We both had to wonder if she was selling something though.  She got onto the wrong ferry and went to the top. There she took several “selfies” then waved to us. I waved back. Off came the dress and she sat sunbathing again. Then another ferry started loading on the other side of the dock as we headed back to the boat. We noticed she got off the ferry she had been on and got onto the other ferry. Whoops. Wrong ferry?

     Wayne figured she was trying to pick him up. She probably was… He says it wasn’t because he’s such a darling but figured if he’s there on the beach he has money. Hah! Silly girl… Little did she know that
A. he has no money….
B. she couldn’t pick him up… His heart belongs to me.

Guess I shoulda taken a pic of the Fraulein  I know ya'll are looking for her LOL
