Persols and snippets on the high seas...

We are aboard our 1957 Chris Craft Constellation cruising the salty seas.
It's a quiet pace and we keep the days simple.
Meal times are 10am 2pm and 8pm...
it just feels right when on vacation to sleep late
and our bed is ever so cozy.

Our boat is 35 feet but inside is a compact space
with bunks in the V berth, a dinette in the salon and a settee.
There is not a lot of storage space so one needs to stow things carefully and keep clutter to a minimum.
The galley consists of a 2 burner stove and a fridge and a small wash basin.
The head has a shower, sink and toilet.
Most of the living space is outside on the back deck.
So we are fair weather cruisers!

our dinette and garden roses

love the sea theme aboard

faux starfish

when we were kids we'd pull starfish off the rocks and study them

we'd also fish for shiners at the dock pilings

catch them and put them in buckets before releasing them

boat gems

aqua and sea glass green

lemons and limes to ward off scurvy!

 lemonade and limeade

so refreshing 

I pop them in a glass of water to add flavour.

I found these Persols in the basket under my sun hats.

I'd completely forgotten that I still had these.

They are polarized which is so necessary for the glare from the sun as it reflects off the ocean.

Here is where I sit to blog.

As I closed the pages on Rules of Civility I wished that I was just starting it again.

It's was a fabulous novel.

Here's a little fluff read

to keep me entertained...

But then there is

cracking crab

dock walks

watching the Ospreys, Blue Herons and Eagles

the Farmer's Market

evening cruises in the dingy

playing cribbage

nibbling appetizers

enjoying seafood

sleeping soundly

laughing

there's

lots of action.

Must close for now 

the sun is shining

and there's a book calling my name.

I'll post again in a few days...

thanks for stopping by.
