“The Night of the Iguana”

“The Night of the Iguana”

Ok, so it’s really the Day of the Iguana. Yesterday afternoon this guy/gal came sauntering up the dock beside us – needless to say, the dogs went crazy!

Sauntering down the dock beside us…

This morning it was lounging on the stern of Scout-About, then it moved up to the bow.  We decided to close the back doors to keep the dogs from seeing it thus heading off an early morning bark-a-thon. Next time we looked it was aboard the Mother-Ship. Friendly little thing…we’re calling him/her Sue. Our dockmaster, Tim, told us we definitely would not like it if Sue decided to poop so we finally shooed him/ her away before we were left a stinky little present.

Michael did some research on iguanas and found an article in a local paper that says the Trinidadian’s call them “Pollo de Arboles” (Chicken of the Trees) because they eat them and, of course, they taste like chicken. Sue – you better watch out or you might be the featured dish on the menu.

Better watch out – you look meal-sized…

Not much more to report just couldn’t resist sending these photos out.

  1. You appear to be in your “happy place!” What an adventure! It looks like a wonderful place to hang out; a warm tropical climate in close proximity to the Bahamas and Cuba. So happy for you two! Might be the best place to avoid a corona virus. Be well!

    1. Hi Jan,
      Yeah, this is a happy place and we are enjoying our wonderful adventure. We also feel comfortable being away from the masses of people during this scary corona virus stuff.
      Take care.

  2. I wonder how it climbed onto Scout then Scout About? I think I would have named her “Burton” – like in Night of the Iguana with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Harry had to find a shovel at the SYC outstation tool room because of what the cute little seal had left on our dock. Maybe snow for Puget Sound tonight!

    1. I don’t know how it got on Scout and Scout-About. A little scary! Oh yeah, Burton would have been a great name….
      Yuck on the seal dropping. Probably bigger than Iguana droppings. Snow??? Stay warm and stay well.
