Chillin' in the Solomons

We actually slept late. It might be the last time we stay in bed past 6 AM for a long time. The weather was quite warm and we again crossed more items off the list.  (Thankfully, the list has not been added to!) We also took advantage of having a grocery store and West Marine close by and did some provisioning.  We came back to find a fleet of remote sailboats competing at the museum.   

The remote controlled schooners
We enjoyed the company of our friends, Lois and Dave Zonderman, who live here in Solomon’s. We had some great Chinese along with great conversation.
Once back at the boat, I took advantage while we were charging the batteries to continue the work on setting up the blog. Since we have been on board, I have been busy trying to get everything consolidated and organized.  Switching my email addresses and phones have jumbled and duplicated things. I wanted to make sure that the blog was secure so that also required a bit more research. 
            We heard from Dan & Martha Bliss of Brunelle.  They just anchored in Hudson Creek and should be meeting up with us tomorrow evening.  They are the first of the boats due to arrive.
As we secured for the night, the moon was ghosting though some thin clouds and silhouetting the sailboats at anchor. How I wish I could capture that on film instead of my memory banks. There is no good way to take a long exposure from a moving boat!
