The MOST Viscous Creature

Ed and I have been attacked. Our friend, Ben from Old Rosie, calls them "pound for pound the most viscous creature". Alligators, sharks, killer whales or maybe sting rays? No, none of those. I'm talking about the tiny blood sucking creature known as no-see-ums. AKA, sand fleas or midges. Man those little suckers bite. For me, it takes 2 to 3 days before the bite appears and WOW do they itch. Thank goodness Freedom has not been overrun by them. We encountered them outside. Another good reason to start heading north.

Wow! 10,000 nautical miles. We're having fun so we look forward to the next 10,000.
