It is hoped that this might change plans regarding how to save the rest of the almost 300 year old artifacts from the central part of the pirate ship. Read more
Mittens The Cat

“Mittens” The Cat has been a fixture at The Winds for years and as usual she has been expending as little energy as possible.
Walking past her yesterday at The Winds I couldn’t resist taking this picture.
She was obviously posing and wanting to please her many fans out there so…
Here she is – Ladies, gentlemen and children of all ages: Mittens The Cat!
Here are some videos form last summer showing Mittens doing what she does best..nothing much at all!
Here she is on a lazy day lounging around The Winds Resort Beach Club . “Its a rough job but someone’s got to do it” said Mittens when we spoke to her later in the day.
Mittens showed up one day as a kitten and settled into her new home. She earns her keep by running pesky varmints away from The Winds. The rest of the time she either sleeps or entertains the children by permitting them to love on her.
The Winds had Mittens fixed and she has all of her shots up to date at all times so she is perfectly safe to be around. She is very gentle and loves to be loved!
