Thinking ahead we have a better idea how to keep the birds off the boat with a
device my roommate from college uses and recommended.
It sings a high pitched noise we can’t hear but keeps the birds off. Check it out.
Also found a secondary
anemometer that fits onto a smartphone.
It’s available at West Marine and on my Christmas list. I’d like to be on the boat and check whether
that anemometer at the top of the mast is accurate. Or use it at the beach when the wind blows. We also wouldn't have to turn on the
instruments to find out the wind speed.

In the next few days we’ll be enjoying a few parties, seeing my sister, Chris, my niece, Susannah, Drew’s brother, Bruce and zipping
to NYC for the holiday. In New York
Sarah and I are going to make graham cracker gingerbread houses with the
grands. I hope we
all sing Christmas carols around the piano - one of my favorite things about Christmas is the music.
Christmas day we’ll have breakfast and stockings at my pregnant
daughter’s and son-in-law’s. In the afternoon we'll drive 20 minutes to my son and
daughter-in-laws with his three children 6, 2, and 6 months. Fun Chaos. Sarah is
due December 28, the same day her in-laws arrive from Malaysia for the event,
Lei Peng and Seng. They are so excited to see their first grandchild. We’ll be there too.
The plan is to return to the
boat Jan 14. More then.
