Well this weekend was kinda boring. We went to the boat Friday night and were joined by Gary and Lonnie. We partied on Lonnie's boat. I was the smart one and went to bed early but did not get to sleep through the night. Dana came over at 4 am to wake me to party with him and Lonnie, Gary had already gone home. I relented and got up, Dana didn't give me much of a choice. I should have locked the door to the boat, I will next time. We continued to party until the sun came up. Dana and Lonnie were parting like 20 somethings.


This was Dana's position all of Saturday. I only saw Lonnie when I went over to walk his dog. Ed and Carol came down and we started Saturday horn test. Sorry Dana, not much sleep then, LOL. I encouraged the horn tests all day. It was a beautiful sunny day. Chuck came over from down the marina to visit and we all laughed about Dana. He really is getting a little old to party all night.



Dana's dad Jack came down around 11 am we got up but Dana couldn't hang for long. Yes, I took a nap to get the rest of the sleep that was interrupted. Jack didn't stay long, Dana was lousy company. He really slept all day. I kept Simba, Lonnie's dog, company much to Jack's, the dog, disgust. I did get some homework done but not much else. Dana was grumpy when I tried to work inside the boat.



While Saturday was beautiful Sunday was rainy and windy. We went home early because Dana couldn't get the work done outside. He didn't get much done except cleaning the bilge out Sunday morning. I cooked a large breakfast and invited Ed and Carol over. It was nice visiting and to see Dana some what recovered. He still had no energy. With the weather preventing outside work that need to be done we went home early. Dana needed to get the bench seat for upstairs rebuilt. That didn't happen. Dana got home and went vertical again. A two day hang over. Was it really worth it Dana? I know I was tired of watching hime sleep.

Lonnie did finally show up later morning Sunday. He was still feeling poorly but Simba wanted to go home. Can't blame her. Lonnie wasn't much fun either.

Friends, food, and fun

I forgot to take pictures but it was a weekend full of friends and family. We went to the boat on friday afternoon and were met at the dock by my mom and at the boat by my daughter and her friend. It was a nice warm afternoon with the sun bright and the breeze light. We sat on the top deck with family and neighbors till it was to cold to do so. We moved the party inside for dinner and drinks. I cooked steaks on the BBQ with the wind blowing. Yes the wind started and made it hard to BBQ. It blew out once and I had to turn it up and keep a close eye on the steaks. They were done to perfection.

Saturday was another beautiful day and more neighbors came down. Dana managed to get some rewiring done on the upper deck while I worked on homework in the morning. By early afternoon neighbors started to arrive and the visiting started. It is always slow going once that starts. We hung on the dock boxes with cocktails and beers while enjoying the sun and friends. Dinner was another opportunity to have neighbors over for steaks. The wind started in the evening and we moved the party inside. It is always fun to entertain on the boat.

Sunday started off nice but soon the clouds rolled in. We managed to hang on the dock boxes while the rain stopped but soon found ourselves running for cover. Dana managed to wash the boat, something he wanted to get done Saturday but didn't. More neighbors came down and the work was divided with visiting down the dock. I played lazy and read a book when the rain drove me inside. We stayed late and had dinner, taking naps before packing up and going home to prepare for the dreaded Monday.

A work weekend

Well this last weekend was a work weekend. It is just part of owning a boat that something always needs to be done. My job was spring cleaning. I hate that part but at least it is a small space to clean.

Dana was the lucky one. His job was outside. The bench on the upper deck needed to be removed to be rebuilt and stop the leaks found over the winter. We got things done on Saturday to relax some on Sunday.

I was really suprised that there were not many people on our dock Saturday. The marina itself was busy with many going out for the day or the weekend. My daughter came down with a friend to have dinner. We BBQ and had the neighbor in for dinner. I was nice to visit with Mike.

Sunday we were ready to pack it in when neighbors started stopping by. It was cloudy and cold but that didn't stop us from sitting on dock boxes to visit. I do look forward to the nice weekends ahead.
