Lounge Lizards

The approach...

 In Panama, we picked up some new pets…kind of. Every once in a while in the cockpit, we’d catch movement out of the corner of our eyes, and finally they were bold enough to come right out. They’re adorable little lizards, at least two and more likely three, who’ve adopted Mr Mac as their new home. One lives in the little wooden pot containing my aloe vera plant and another has been sighted by the winch, inside the fan atop the hatch, and elsewhere. The possible third lives inside around our galley. When we have a fruit shake for lunch, we’ll leave little drops of it on the deck and they come out to lick it up with their tiny tongues. We've also had one climb up on the table to lick up toast crumbs on the paper towel. The boldest visited when I was reading in the cockpit one evening. It skittered along the deck, then hopped onto the winch. Another hop to the edge of my plastic wine glass to lick up some of the condensation on the outside. Looking back a few minutes later, I thought the lizard had left until I spied it curled inside the glass, licking at the drop of wine in the bottom! Oh, well, I guess everyone needs a happy hour now and then.

...and she's in!
