I wondered what it was going to be like to be sick aboard. Pretty bad. I’ve had the flu for almost 3 days, seemed to turn the corner last night and was finally able to keep clear liquids down. Keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll be back fit as a fiddle in a couple days. Today is my birthday and rather than splurge on a nice dinner at our favorite restaurant (yuck! when you’re sick that’s the last thing you want) we’re splurging on a day and night at a nearby yacht club. Shore power and hot showers! Oh, what a fine birthday present that will be for me.

I did learn that Beamer the cat makes a very fine heating pad. He’s a nice little source of BTU’s 🙂
