On Saturday (September 17), when we awoke, we were relieved to see that most of the bugs were gone. Instead of a sunrise picture, here is a video of a bird catching a fish.
The rest had vacated by the time we left for the cruiser’s breakfast, which we held onshore in the recently damaged casita.

We made arrangements to do the float together. This time, we planned to be there at the peak of high tide so we could get more rides in.
