Neighbor "Wilson" and Dock Drama

We've grown kinda attached to our dockmates.  One man, we have named "Wilson" for blog purposes, has been particularly endearing.  He offers pearls of wisdom on a daily basis.  He owns a 27' sailboat in the slip next to us.  He is all the crusty mirth one would hope for in a neighbor!  Wilson loans us all kinds of stuff: lines, ladders, polish, twine, tools. 

He has even taken up our battle with the FINCHES!  Can you believe it!?!  The finches made a new nest in our sail!!!!!  This would be the 3rd nest!  Count them. Three.

We're afraid we've created a monster.  Are they like homing pigeons?  I think it is time to get the sparkly used car saleman lot flags!  What did you call them, Captain V?

A Bird in the Sail is Worth Two in the Bush

We spent the afternoon of Mother's Day on the Boat. 

Mother's Day ALERT!!! 

We discovered that our little finch friend had built a new nest and laid eggs!!!  I guess this mean that we can't go sailing for a while.  How long do finch eggs take to hatch?  How much bird poop do little finches make?
