We got up a little later than usual as it had been a really busy week and sleeping in sounded pretty good. We had an uneventful ride over and arrived mid afternoon. Maxine was good, no leaks or problems, so we cranked up the A/C, unpacked the truck and headed out to get something to eat. We decided on The Silos for burgers. They hit the spot! Afterwards we hit the local supermarket for food and supplies then the video store for a movie and headed back. It was nice and cool by then. We put everything away and finished unpacking then turned in early. It had been a long, hot day. During the night we had quite a thunderstorm, but no leaks!

We woke to a beautiful morning. Coffee and bagels in the cocokpit. Today was to be a work day as Joe had several projects he wanted to get done. The first was a trip up the mast to the spreaders to fix the lights that had stopped working. After several trips up and down the mast and a trip to West Marine, he had them working. Then I went up to check out the view. It was fun. We met our neighbors from Bristol Star and they seem really nice. We made sandwiches for lunch and spent the afternoon at the pool. We grilled dinner in the cockpit and enjoyed a glass of red wine while the sunset. A good day!

We woke to another beautiful day, made breakfast and headed out. There wasn't much wind so we motor sailed most of the morning. We headed over to Adams Creek. There was alot of traffic along the channel. Everyone out enjoying the summer weather. We stopped for lunch and then headed back. The wind had picked up, but there were dark clouds rolling in and thunderstorms were predicted. When we got back the rain hit, so we watched the movie in the A/C and the storm had passed by the time it was over. We decided to go out to dinner and chose Gary's Seafood in Arapahoe. It was very good. We removed Maxine's canvas and secured her in case of bad weather while we were away. Then we took a walk down to the clubhouse and sat on the porch until the sun went down. It is so beautiful there.

We got up early and packed up. As much as we hated to leave, we had to head home. It had been a wonderful summer weekend though. Til next time....
