I took off in the morning to check email at Island Breeze and picked up some things we had forgotten at the grocery yesterday. Then returned to the boat and made pizza for lunch. Kathy spent the morning cleaning and most of the afternoon working on stainless.
We were hosting a party on board this afternoon so I put together some black eyed pea salad to use a dip... I made it a week ago for Bob's birthday and it tasted so good that I made it again for a new audience.
At high tide in the afternoon Barry and I joined Steve and Kim to take "fine Lion" to the fuel dock. It's about a three mile trip but there isn't much water near the dock and high tide is the only time sailboats can approach. We filled "Fine Lion" and Barry and I each got a jerry can or two to top off our tanks as well.
Barry came over a little early and helped me move our Nissan outboard, which we won't be using for a while up the port side anchor locker. It barely fit but by moving things around we made room.
Besides the regulars, we invited Doug and Sharon from "About Time" to join us and as always... ate too much and had a great time.
