We are fishing in our backyard today. Yes, we are fishing from our backyard, in our backyard, soaking up the rays & enjoying the best mimosas we've ever had. Another perk of living on a boat; your backyard isn't just a playground, it's a marine wonderland of fun.
Recently, I have come to understand my favorite thing about living on the hook. Out here with the gentle rocking, the peace & quiet I am not just fond of but completely dependent on for a good night's sleep, we are a boat ride away from land. Every day we wish to go to land (or have to go to land depending on the reason, for example, say we are out of wine...), we take a boat ride on one of our dinghies (oh yeah, we got a new addition to Miss Betty's fleet, but more on that at a later date, when I can upload a pic of the 24' walk around, cuddy cabin Jay bought me!). See, we love boating, not just living on a boat. The whole appeal really, for us, is going on a ride, not just sitting at the dock, or hanging on the hook. We wanna ride, man! Pack a cooler & let's crank that engine, I've already got a bikini on, you know it! So we are good to go! And we get to go, every single day, on a boat ride... twice in fact, because we come home to the big girl every night (well, usually... that cuddy cabin is awfully comfy & we've been enjoying the apartment away from home, we named her Apartment Sea). I love boating... on damn near all boats (even that time Jay & our new friend had to gondola style paddle our new friend's dinghy to his other friend's boat, so we could borrow his RIB to get to the big boat... at like 2 am! Still, loved it!) Boating is in our blood, I do believe.
Gotta go, we got a fish on the line & our mimosas need refilling! Life in the keys at it's finest.
