They're coming...

It was a gray start to the day...


Since we put in "a full day" yesterday on the charger, we took the morning to lounge on the boat.  Before noon, the sun came out and it was an absolutely beautiful day.

A couple boat projects, sorta: Joan wanted to get laundry done, I needed to wire a 3 prong female plug for the charger.  The plug I bought at the hardware store wasn't big enough for the wiring, so when we went out for lunch, we also stopped at the home center on the edge of town to get a bigger plug.

When we came back to the boat, Joan toted off the laundry, so I kinda had to do the last bit of wiring.  Of course, my part took longer than I anticipated, but I finished up before Joan came back.  Wild Blue's holding tank needed to be pumped, so we unhooked and made the trek all the way around to the other side of the marina.

When we came back, C-Dorys were starting to show up for the gathering this weekend...


So, for any C-Brats, you can see that there is blue sky and plenty of slips waiting for your arrival.  Somewhere around 50 boats are expected for the gathering.  Should be fun!

Interesting boat of the day: I saw this boat here last year.  It is a rowing.sailing skiff...


Small, but efficient.  Outboard oar-locks, a single sail, even a solar panel on the aft end (not sure what it runs).  Might be a bit too spartan for our needs, but it looks very interesting.
