We ended up with 4 birds and all of them made it and are back in the wild. They did come back to the boat for quite a while after they were able to look after themselves. Just to get an easy meal or chat sort of visit. Sometimes the came back with a wild bird in tow as well.
Lind and I got married in October and have traveled down the ICW to Hilton Head where we have friends and one of them has a marine service place, where I work at now and then. It took us two month to get down here from Baltimore where we stopped over for about 2 month as well. Had to rewire a 53 foot Hatteras from a friend after it sunk a few years ago, the electrical system turned funny colours and needed to be replaced.
Our "fleet" has expanded a bit as well and we added a 19 foot runabout just to drive to work with.
So now we have the 50 foot houseboat, 36 foot sailboat a inflatable dink with a old 6 horse outboard that I restored
Said runabout , a kayak and saving up to get a paddle board. We live at anchor and its like waterworld with our motley crew of 5 cats.
So thats the almost last year in a nutshell.
