We awakened yesterday to a gorgeous clear day. First things first: we agreed to be each other's Valentine. After Roy made pancakes for breakfast we settled into reading -- Marlene finally finished "A Cruel and Shocking Act -- The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination" by Philip Shenon. The book reads like a novel in many ways -- highly recommended! Mid-afternoon we got into the dinghy and headed toward shore. Since our dinghy is so heavy it doesn't have wheels -- we've tried 2 or 3 sets -- they sink into the sand. So, at low tide we leave the dinghy close to shore with an anchor set deeply into land. When we return, the dinghy is floating with an incoming tide. Well, back to our day. We took a hike from where we are on the western shore of Isla Partida across to the eastern shore. It was quite a nice hike, took only about and hour there and back. The view of the sea on the other side of the island wasn't at all like the San Francisco Bay to Breakers race -- there were no breakers in the sea! Water was and continues to be almost flat, mirror-like, and we have no wind to speak of. Today is another day in paradise...
