Strange visitor

We have been doing chores on September Song, and she is so happy when we work on her. While we were cleaning the pilot house sun screens on the dock, we had a visitor that stopped by for a drink when it heard the fresh water running off the dock. Manatees (sea cows) are so huge, but so graceful in the water. When ancient mariners first saw them, they thought they were mermaids. (a long time at sea and a little too much rum I think) When they decided they weren't mermaids, they ate them.
Another visitor in the water, Kevin, a diver who cleaned September Song's bottom. I swear, (well, not too often) she shivers and smiles when she gets her bottom cleaned.
Well, the plan is set. Doug and Tammy (AKA Gypsies in the Palace) will be here Friday with our van and we will head out, along with Norm and Vicki on Tide Hiker, to Key West on Saturday and go KEY WEST CRAZY. It could get ugly! I will take lots of pictures. Not all will be blog appropriate, so for a private viewing you will need to sign a non-disclosure statement.

September Song (can we call you for bail money?) out

A manatee stopped by for a drink.

A face only a mother could love.

Another creature visited September Song. It's Kevin, our bottom cleaner.

September Song is always so happy to have her bottom cleaned and powdered
