I know it is a couple days late, but just wanted to wish everyone a happy (late) 4th of July. While Jerry worked on the outboard motor in the afternoon I started making a pasta salad (the same one Dar made for us when she was here), and also got some plates, utensils, beer (even though I have been on a detoxify and no eating or drinking for the last 7 days), and all the other things we need for the bond fire party on the beach with some other cruisers. Jerry, myself, Skeeter went to pick up John (sv magus) on his boat and headed over the bay to the beach were there were probably about 20 –25 cursers there. We had a blast, Bob and Pracilla, on sv Serenidy, supplied all the hotdogs and buns.
We brought our own condiments and some chips and salsa as well as the pasta salad to share. We had got a large fire going for the weenie roast and also some fireworks, which consisted of some flair guns being shot off. The weather was perfect, with just a slight breeze to keep the mosquitoes away, but not to windy were it was not comfortable.
The party went on till about 11pm which we packed up the dingy and headed back across the bay to drop off John. And of coarse, the motor would not start, after a few pulls it fired up, but half way across the motor started running on one cylender, we all knew this was not good. Well we made it to John right as it died and would not start again, so I ended up rowing us back to SOMF, luckily not windy and not to far. All in all it was a great evening and we met some really awesome cruisers that we hope to see next season cuising down the sea.
