Porty - Not So Patient Today

This morning we had some big excitement - Porty decided to go on an adventure without us! We were up early to go to a Nautical Flea Market on Big Pine Key. When I looked out by the stern Porty was gone! He left sometime during the night when the winds piped up to 25 knots! What To Do Now! We put an APB out to all cruisers in Boot Key Harbor and then called a friend; John from "Windrifter" to go on a search with his dinghy. THANKFULLY, within 10 minutes we found Porty under a dock about 300 yards from "Kismet"! Porty came out virtually unscathed; has buddy Nissan suffered abit from the barnacles and oysters!

As we found out in the Chesapeake, ALWAYS have a safety line on the dink.

Porty just gets so impatient! This guy has a sense of humor, remember when he tipped Jim over on the ICW in the middle of the night?
At least Nissan didn't decide to go diving this time.
You guys better keep a close eye on Porty!
