The last meal cruise...

It was another beautiful morning as I prepped the cruise boat...


Not my last meal cruise, but the last breakfast cruise for my favorite young first mate, Jill. She is a delight to have on the boat - hard working, energetic, and a great sense of humor (a quality necessary for our boat crew). Here is a photo of her with Chef Mark...


And a photo of Jill with her favorite Captain...


She is heading back to college in Texas. I will miss her youthful exuberance, and trying to make her laugh on the boat.

And a shot of the Elk Island view from the tables...


The fire that is southeast of us is growing - up to 2,900 acres now...


Another look at the sailing catamaran from the other day...


And a fun surprise: a Corsair F-28 on the lake. It launched at our ramp, we saw it out on the water, and they are spending one night at our transient dock. Sure made me nostalgic for Wide Open, our former Corsair...


That is a lot of work to set up that boat for only one night here. I heard that they are traveling with the boat, doing one night at a time on different lakes.

TGIF... today was our "Friday", the last day of our work week. We had a nice series of cruises today, finishing the day with the marina manager and guests on our boat; enough passengers to make it a two boat sunset cruise. It was another beautiful day on the water... two sunsets on the last cruise, and delightful guests. Nice way to finish off our work week.
