Speaking of migrations... We stepped out the back door of the boat Saturday and were very surprised to see a swarm of bees had decided Istaboa was a good place to hang out.
They hung around on the deck for a while then decided the kayaks on the upper deck was a better site for their plans. My Pop was a hobbyist bee keeper for a while when I was a kid so I had seen this type of thing before. They are pretty much harmless at this stage unless threatened. So keeping with our, "friends of honest and harmless creatures attitude", we let them be. (no pun intended)
We are hoping they soon find a better place to do their thing or we must have them removed by a bee keeper. They are in short supply these days, for some reason, and we understand they are quite important partners in the local agriculture industry.
But, we don't think they'll enjoy going to sea. So, bees, be gone!
The days are hot but, in the end, we're rewarded with some beautiful fall sunsets.
Adios,
Istaboa
Hello there, You Mel and Radar have been my cruising hero's for several years. It's only right that I follow in your footsteps. Once we cross we will be in your neighborhood to have a little work done. We will have to meet up and share some laughs and stories. Hope to see you soon once we jump across the pond. Theresa
ReplyDeleteAre you still in Stuart? We live in Kentucky but have a boat near Stuart. We are down here for a week staying on our boat. I have followed all of your travels and we would love to meet up with you.
