Weather is coming, I'm in a good spot so I think I'll stay the day. NOAA says 25 to 35 in the gusts. No reason to go anywhere.
This morning I got a visit from the owner of a boat behind me which is a 40 catamaran. He handed over a tin foil package containing a corn muffin and brownie that his daughter had made.
What a surprise! He along with his wife and two teenage kids were on there way down south to the keys. The kids are home schooled, mom and dad are both graphic designers and work from the boat. What a life! They are traveling in tandem with the couple on the boat in front of me. They have been doing this ( the waterway ) for 27 years. Both boats left Washington DC in the beginning of December. That's cold!
After the weather cleared David from the cat came by and offered a ride into town for fuel and groceries. On the way we picked up Steve from the other boat and all crammed into an old VW sedan, fuel cans and all. Once again the generosity of people who cruise... They just understand because they've been there or still are.
So in a 1980 VW jetta(read beat) three grown men, three five gallons jugs of gas, and what had to be thirty bags of groceries, the poor thing would bottom out on every other bump. Only people who live on boats would think nothing of it.
