While we do like a glass of wine or a beer at sunset, after the boat is safely anchored, it's probably wise to be cautious about drinking too much as you always need to be alert in case something happens, which it can out on the water.The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-43401948456113073152016-04-22T04:35:49.868-07:002016-04-22T04:35:49.868-07:00What a shame that you didn't have sleepovers a...What a shame that you didn't have sleepovers as a kid :-( The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-9886452148564212562016-04-22T04:34:51.258-07:002016-04-22T04:34:51.258-07:00I tried to learn how to twirl a baton when I was a...I tried to learn how to twirl a baton when I was a girl too.

And George really knows how to insert herself into other people's business with food. I'm glad Bess ignored her and I'm thinking she should go down and eat all of that cake herself, just to show George who is boss around the cake issue. But not you are upping the tension with Nancy's plan to sneak aboard! I'm biting my fingernails on that one. Will she be discovered? Will she take Ned with her? Will she have to dive overboard without checking for sharks because someone hears her opening drawers? I am loving this and I totally think you could write an entire Nancy Drew book. You practically have already.
