Marathon

Day 189, February 15th, 2010

The weather was a little better today. The wind dropped and it actually felt warm again and we were even happy to wear shorts!!! Thinking Pea Soup would be moving on very soon, we invited them to supper tonight. Just as we got that organised, Mike from Sea Sharp came by and invited the four of us over to his boat for drinks at 4:00 along with everybody from Sisters Creek andWhiskey Creek - as a celebration for surviving the storm last Thursday night!!!

In the afternoon John and I walked up to Publix again to buy some steak and stuff for supper. We took a grocery cart from the marina so we didn't have to lug all the heavy stuff home. Thats a good system - there are several carts around the marina and you just borrow it to go shopping and leave it somewhere on the property for the next guy.

We just got home in time to get organized and then it was off to Sea Sharp. There must have been about 14 people on the boat in the end. It was a great time. As always, with boaters, you felt like you'd know everybody for years after the first 20 minutes. One couple brought their guitar and a Cajon Drum from Haiti and played a couple of songs for us. They were wonderful.

Around 6:45 John and I and Sharon and Reg said goodnight and dinghied back to our boat to barbecue the steaks etc. It was yummy and we agreed we'd all had a great evening.
