We Stayed Up Late Swapping Manly Stories, and in the Morning We Made Waffles!

Another early start, this time on a mission to make brunch. A quick trip to Harris Teeter yielded all the ingredients needed to produce an excellent brunch of waffles (of course), fruit, assorted meats, and mimosa.

After a quick clean up and strategy session, Bob and I were back at Harris Teeter buying provisions for the boat. And no boating trip would be complete without a trip to West Marine, where we acquired propane for the gas grill.

Upon arriving at the Black Dog, we were disappointed tofind that the bottom had not been cleaned. This will delay us until Tuesday for departure. However we did get the bimini set up,  andt made good progress in getting her ship shape. We were out for a short shake down cruise, and got her all fueled up.

While at the fueling dock, we meet another local Island Packet owner, who owns a 350 christened Hawk Spirit. It is always good to know a fellow IP owner, so as to compare notes on different things.

Returning to the Greaves residence, we enjoyed dinner with friends Martha, Peyton, and Ashley. Martha made a delicious stuffed pepper appetizer, and Ashley had cheese that was made by an Uncle of her and Ronda. Ronda made pasta with pesto and tomatoes,  along with veggies. Who knew meatless meals could taste so good.

Matt will join us tomorrow, and we will get the Black Dog ready for departure. An added bonus might be a class at Gritbox.
