Waiting, Waiting, Waiting for Godot Happy Mothers Day

New named early storm ANA off Carolinas is causing lots of high waves and winds though we feel nothing down here.  We finally did go out for a 3 hour sail to calibrate the new installed auto pilot.  Wanted a swim but missed that since we didn't anchor.  anyway the auto pilot works well.  Drew did a great job.
  Yesterday as an early Mothers Day gift we took a walk at Fairchild Gardens and saw the Chihuly exhibit throughout the grounds and the butterfly conservatory.  They release new butterflies every day.

Boat with glass:

 
Also a stop off at Monty's for muscles and crab claws.

 


Other tasks we need to do before we take off:  clear A/C hose of debris, use filter water to fill up the water tank since the water maker filters get clogged so quickly in this slip or mooring water.  Make sandwiches and easy to eat food we can grab while on watch.  Do laundromat wash. Return rental car. Bail out water from Air conditioning bin.
   Update on Mazu is that the 2 x a day antibiotic has knocked out the skin problem and living in air conditioning has helped immensely.  It's been in the 90s most days here.
Aisle down the pier to our boat where the little flag is flying.

Had to stick a couple of kid pix in since it's Mothers Day.
