Marathon Part 3

Wednesday, April 9, 2014.  Today we walked to Home Depot and then to Hurricane’s for lunch with dean and Susan and then across the street for ice cream.  We stopped at Buck Woodcraft to get some teak for version three of the VHF mount. The folks we met on Risky Lady, Dan and Lupe, brought by some fresh fish they had caught.  These are the folks who Richard Mansfield helped bring down their boat (O’Day 35) from Islamorada.

Thursday, April 10, 2014. Today is pump out day and Cory shows up at 10am.  I worked on the version three mount and then we went to the beach.  Risky Lady’s fish for dinner.

Friday, April 11, 2014.  Jim and Judy Foster drive down from Port St. Lucie to visit.  We all went to dinner at The Sunset Grill and had a very nice dinner and were treated to a great sunset as well.  Jim and Judy spent the night with us on Rhiannon. Mailed our taxes today.

Saturday, April 12, 2014.  The Fosters and Lisa and I went to the Stuffed Pig for Brunch.  You can tell the “season” is winding down as there was no wait for a table.  The food was great and plentiful as always.  Lisa and I head back to the boat to work on projects and Jim and Judy take off to look at marinas they may want to consider on their next trip south.  We meet again in time for the pot luck dinner/jam session at the Tiki (at the marina).  The Fosters opt to stay with us another night.  Very nice.

Sunday, April 13, 2014.  We all have breakfast aboard (coffee, tea, fresh fruit) and then the Fosters take off for the return drive to Port St. Lucie.  They will get to their boat in Fort Pierce, where it is being waxed and the bottom painted, on Tuesday and then start their trip north to Baltimore.  We spent the balance of the day getting Rhiannon ready to depart tomorrow.
