People who sail across oceans say time seems to go faster in those weeks that you only see water. I hear them tell me that it's almost like watching a camp fire, ultimately relaxing, while you still have to keep an eye on the wind, currents, and route. To know exactly where you are, you need to have GPS, or be able to calculate your position via the time+sun (height and exact location).

Luckily, we don't have any of those troubles, as we stay in our marina, happy with our old ship that is relying on a fuel source that's overpriced from about 30 cents per gallon (when it was being built) to the current 4 dollars per gallon (boat fuel), making it simply not economical to move, with our 2 V8 big blocks of almost 8 liter each. The nature here is great, as are the views, sunsets, etc. There is work, at least when there are no viruses going around. We are lucky to have nice friends here, and Ilene's son Jeremy lives in Sacramento so she can visit him regularly, like today, when she brought both dogs to give them a good bath (in this time of year we have to do that, as flea eggs are hatching).

With the camper it's no use going out as all campings are closed. We've finished painting the interior (from ultra ugly wallpaper to simple, plain white).
All we can do now, is to stay home and wait. Enjoying our freedom, our extra vacation time. There always is so much to do in house and garden, on boat and bike, outboard et cetera. Here are some pics of Lucille.
