Paul Moran, Captain of s/v Copper Top, a Baja Ha Ha Rally member who arrived here at the Cabrillo Isle Marina last week from Brookings Oregon, turned 64 yesterday. He is a very nice fellow who has been the joy of every one around him. (Paul is sitting between Lynne and I in the picture with Ted on her left)

We are all great fans of his and so Lynne and Anne of s/v Sea Sounds decided to join forces and prepared dinner in his honor. Because our boat is still a mess with the engine maintenance/repairs, Anne offered to host the dinner on their boat.

We had a blast and Paul Moran was center stage as usual with his terrific sense of humour and a million jokes. It is unfortunate that our friends the Roberts were not in the picture.

A very Happy Birthday Paul with good winds and fair sailing on your way to the South Pacific.
