Going to see the Blue Angels and hang out with our friendly marina-mates on Monomoy and FantaSea and Private Stock and -- but wait, there's a package, no, a small herd of packages, the tracking thingie says, headed our way and we can't leave it/them lying around for days, and Derek's GMATS class (a Navy education thing for which he was about to fly north on Sunday) was canceled, only nobody at USMMA told him, so we're scrambling to try to communicate with all the people who need to be communicated with about that. The Navy duty in late July and most of August is still on, just not the class up in the Merchant Marine Academy in NY. So, what was supposed to be a leisurely departure and anchor-out tonight to see the Blue Angels tomorrow and the next day has become a maybe-later-today or maybe-tomorrow-morning departure. With luck, we'll still be able to see Blue Angels in dress rehearsal and performance.

I painted the registration numbers on the new dinghy's port side, and affixed the sticker (we'll see how long that holds: these stickers are notorious for not sticking to PVC and Hypalon boats -- and I have a backup plan involving dinghy repair glue) yesterday evening. I'll paint the starboard side today. This kit is silly: they provide a stencil but then say, "trace around the letters of the stencil, remove the stencil, and paint up to the lines to avoid paint leakage under the stencil's edge" Well, what is the point of having a stencil if you can't use it... grumble, grumble...
