Now we're anchored at Monument - close to all the activities in this amazing community. Yoga, water aerobics, ecstatic dance, ukulele lessons and jamming - all provided free of charge by our fellow cruisers.
The other day, while I did a yoga class, my Captain tried to fix the wayward bilge pump, without success. As he was about to give up, I arrived with Lee, who had offered me a lift back in his dinghy. I'm a good mechanic, Lee announced, and quickly joined Jeff with his head in the bilge.
Suddenly we hear a voice from outside saying, "there's a boat floating down on you!". Yikes!! A huge Catamaran was adrift, with 6 dinghies surrounding it, trying to prevent it from colliding with nearby boats.
As we watched helplessly, with fenders at hand, the owners raced down from the top of Monument, jumped in their dinghy, and were soon aboard their runaway boat and reanchoring. Disaster averted! They had spotted their boat adrift from the top of the mountain - enough excitement for everyone for one day!
