Always Something to be Done

It's always good to be getting ready to head to sea, but it looks like this time there will be some extra exertion.

Bob and I had a good start this morning. We got up early and went to a gym run by Bob's friend Cody. He is a pretty nice guy who runs the Grit Box Fitness Center in Charleston where we did a kickboxing class. It was hard but fun, and Cody was good about pushing a little, but not too the point where I broke.

After that, we set down at the sewing machine to make some repairs in the bimini and the dodger got the boat. The dodger was taking longer than we thought, and since it wasn't needed for this trip, we focused on the bimini, and getting supplies for the boat.

Layer in the evening, we were joined by two favorite Waffler cheerleaders Ronda Greaves and her sister Ashley for dinner at Basil, a Tai restaurant in the heart of Charleston. We got seated very quickly for a Saturday evening. The food was awesome, as was the company.

After dinner, we crossed the street to the Cocktail Club for a drink. The atmosphere was very nice, and it was nice (although a bit chilly) to sit outside. Definitely a place to go back to.

Tomorrow Matt will join us, and we will continue prepping the boat. We would like to get underway tomorrow, but it will hinge on the weather and other variables.
