Nesting

About a month ago we had a little bird that was eager to get inside our boom. In order to prevent him from nesting we stuck a rag in the end which he did not like one bit. The little bird kept returning, chirping loudly and actually appearing a bit distressed. Mike even thinks the bird tried to poop on him. At that time we looked down into the boom and did find some traces of a nest that was in the works and pulled it all out, or so we thought. We were happy that we had caught it in time and the little bird didn’t waste too much of his energy. Well, this morning Mike discovered some more pieces of twig and twine, only to pull out a pretty substantial nest hidden deep inside the boom. No wonder the little bird was so upset!



For myself, I continued my own ‘nesting’ and went into town to buy more stuff to organize. Only upon my return to discover that we had neighbors! Directly across from us and in our swim spot no less! It’s funny because we both were a little out of sorts about it. I think we have gotten spoiled out here with our privacy. While waiting for our neighbors to depart, we were also waiting for the arrival of several people to help us get our projects done. Baron, the sail and rigging guy, Mr. Hussein, the electrician, and Engin with our shade panels. No surprise that Baron was the only one who did not show up. Mr. Hussein graciously came and answered some of Mike’s questions and helped him realize that he is capable of doing much of the installation and wiring himself. Engin delivered our much anticipated shade panels which has proven to be very welcomed in the late afternoon. Now if we can only get our main sail…
