It is 96 (F) inland and in the 80s here on the water at 2000. Offshore winds have died although the bonsai are still doing well. The ocean is calm.

Of our three current cats, all of them quite at home on the boat: Koji: the matriarch, a cranky 12 year old Siamese bitch until late at night when she allows the other two to get close and loves to snuggle.
