0709, Sun, 070112.     Bahia Marquer.     Nothing really out of the ordinary.  The weather was perfect, the water temperature was perfect, and the projects are simply small.

The breeze has been blowing most of the day lately only letting up for moments to let us know how hot it would be without it.  When we went for our swim we donned our skin suits and enjoyed a few minutes in the nice water.  There was a little bit of a current so you could get your exercise by swimming right at the back step of the boat.  Pretty kewl.  Like having your own swimming pool with current things.  There must be a name for those things?

We are reading some books by Wilbur Smith.  Right now I am in Africa with a pilot who is fighting in WWI.  Interesting to hear the story from the pilot's point of view.  He has just gotten an upgrade on his airplane but is now up against the Red Baron.  It must have been quite a sport during their dog fights.

Oasis came over for a great little card game.  Jim was on fire.  He started putting cards down and there was no stopping him. 

The movie was Elizabeth.  She was the daughter of Henry the VIII and became queen when the first daughter became ill and died.  England had been squandered down to bankruptcy (something they didn't have in those days) and she decided to not listen to all the advisors and do things her own way.  She must have been one tough lady……more later..
