Sebana Cove Marina

Hi Everyone,

  Luckily for us the monkey was aboard the boat next to ours.  At least that’s where we saw him.    I had gone out to hang laundry (risky if there are lots of curious monkeys!)  and noticed the monkey on the sail boat next to ours.  By the time I had gone back inside to get Randal, a mini-crowd had formed.  A cruiser was yelling to the Sebana Cove security guards that the monkey had come into his boat and now was on his neighbor’s boat. (The boat between ours and his.)  His suggestion was that they get a gun a shoot the monkey.Yuck bad!!!  Hearing that must have scared the monkey who started to climb up the furled foresail and do what scared monkeys do. They poop!  Yuck bad!!!  I guess this monkey knew the longer he stayed the bigger trouble he’d be in, so off he went.  Off the boat, onto the dock, past the guards and mini-crowd and back to land and the safety of roofs and trees.  You don’t usually see monkeys alone.  But this one may be the one several cruisers have spotted at the marina complex and watching cruisers play tennis.  The thought was that he had been kicked out of the troop being a threat to the dominant male.  I can’t help but think he is just lonely for company.  The dock trash cans have heavy metal sliding tops that might or might not be monkey proof though you never see trash strewn about.  I don’t know if he wanted company, food, or what.  I did wonder about hanging out our laundry! 

These monkeys are fun to watch, but they will bite and don’t seem so cute or cuddly like the gibbons or even the proboscis monkeys.  And a monkey running amok in the boat, yuck bad!!!!

Just another morning at Sebana Cove.
