The sunrise was beautiful
In this case, tender has nothing to do with emotions – rather the placing of a ship at anchor followed by transporting passengers between ship and shore by means of smaller craft. In this case, the lifeboats belonging to the ship.
The tendering process had started about 0800, but it took them till almost 1230 before it became open seating on the tenders. By that point, I had lost all interest in heading to the Santa Barbara Marina, even for a simple ride in and back.
And, as one would expect, the “last tender is 1615” wasn’t able to accommodate all those waiting for it. It was over an hour after that when the Captain came on to report that we would be headed to San Diego shortly. It isn’t that the distance is all that far. Leaving anchor an hour or two after what was initially planned will make no difference at all in our arrival time.
Me?
I had a lovely day, sitting on my balcony looking out toward the shore and listening to the occasional seal barking. There was reading, relaxing, stitching, and perhaps a bit of a nap. I also packed early so that I wouldn’t have to bother with much of anything this evening.
I added the potion to the Witches Cabinet (7 done and the rest to go) and finally stitched the bottom side borders on Horrorflies plus started the two side critters. I should be able to finish them tomorrow, leaving only the parts dropping on the 13th and 20th to go.
