Today started at 5:30a.m. Yes, a.m. My eyes opened right away. Was it KCRW starting their newest pledge drive or was my mind racing with so much to get done? After a quick shower, I had enough time to turn on the computer and scan a few documents before Kerry arrived. Off to farmer's market for fresh vegies and a cup of java, then to the airport to pick up Jeff, and to more marketing until all the items on the list were found! Then, it's back to the boat for stowage.
Back on the boat, Aldo was finishing the new mainsail cover, Joe was finishing repairs to the anchor windless and bow roller, the bottom was cleaned and Bill and Jack worked on our water leak (left over from the installation of our water maker) and a final check of the sail to see what it looks like (yes, it was finally delivered and hoisted yesterday).
I sneaked to the back of the boat to finish cleaning the aft cabin (hate to leave port with a dirty bedroom) and filed most of our papers away for safe keeping. Jack took charge of refueling while Bill and Jeff stowed extra anchors, rode and chain. Kerry kept stowing food. We certainly won't starve! Thanks to Kerry and mom for all the hours of cooking and preparations!
Jeff and I headed out for an afternoon run to drop stuff off at storage and to check out some fishing gear at a neighborhood haunt. We got back in time to change into our team shirts and join the rest of the crew at the skipper's meeting and send-off party hosted by DRYC.
Winding down the day, there's still some stuff to stow in the main salon and I'd love to wash down the decks. Bill is working on the computer and Jeff is hanging the fishing rods. One last look around the boat and it's off to bed!
