The loud horn from a local freight train wore me up this morning just at just at the sun was coming up. There was lots to do today. The game plan was to get moving on Saturday as long as the weather was good and the forecast was for good weather.
Tom and Bev our slip neighbors said that they were hosting a potluck on the dock at the end of the day and we were invited. The reason for the pot luck was that the weather was changing for the better and people were moving on. Most heading for the Bahamas.
Some of the final preparations involve putting he dingy in its bags and stowing. Dave finally stuffed it into the head. The thinking is that we will have the dingy in the water before we really need to start using he head.
At the dock get together we met a sailor from Quebec named Gee. He has one of the biggest yachts I have had the pleasure of boarding. An old boat built in Canada in 1971. The boat looked bran new. It was in Bristol condition.
We had to find marine gas with out alcohol. One of the boaters in the marina told us were to find this pure gas. We put about 20 gallons into red plastic cans and drove them back to the boat. The gas cans are stowed on each side of the boat. Two cans on the port side and one can on starboard.
