Two Cats and a Rolex

We crossed the (mini) pond from West End, Abacos, to Fort Pierce, Fla., yesterday in about 12 hours with roly-poly seas.
Sea Quill (KK 48), Mon Amie (KK44), Clay Lady II (Fleming 55) and N-2-Wishin
(DeFever) also left West End -- Sea Quill went to Jensen Beach; Mon Amie and
Clay Lady were headed to Whiticar Boat Works in the Stuart area. N-2-Wishin went
to the Fort Pierce City Marina.

We had planned to get a 5 a.m. start from Old Bahama Bay Marina but awoke to a
back door open and the cats gone. It took us an hour and a half in the dark to
track 'em down and get them back on board; we were fortunate that it only took
that long. Right after we left, Teresa's Rolex watch dropped in the drink while
handling lines for Sea Quill's departure and Steve dove down several times (no
doubt with an assist from Winston) to eventually retrieve it. He was the hero of
the day.

We're headed to Cocoa Beach and points north.....
