Leap Day

Wednesday Feb 29th we went out with Barnaby and Miranda on their boat for a bit of fun. Barnaby is the captain on Libertas (the 60 ft boat Dave is working on for the remainder of his time here), and his wife Miranda is the first mate. We have really enjoyed getting to know them and spending time with them, as they share most of the same passions as we do. We drove the boat by the owner of Libertas' property, which was beautiful. One of the caretakers was there and offered for us to take his car and tour the property. It was a treat to be able to go on this immaculate couple hundred acres of professionally manicured waterfront property with multimillion dollar homes. After wiping the drool from our chins, we continued on our boating adventure by doing a bit of fishing around the black rocks. Then we beach hopped for a bit on a couple different islands. We drove into a nice protected bay and the boys did some wakeboarding before continuing on home. We had a really fun day out on the boat, except Barns really hurt his knee wakeboarding and had to limp off the boat with Dave's help. Hopefully he isn't hurt to bad. After returning home, we went over to our neighbors Di and Davids'

house for a dinner party with our landlords and other neighbors. Di and David are from England, so they treated us to a spectacular homemade english dinner of roast beef and yorkshire pudding. We, of course, enjoyed several bottles of wine along with our dinner and delicious desert. It was a great Leap Day!
