CCYC DAY!

Dan, John, Betty, Kathy, Pete

     Ackeoo, which we found out means “contentment” in Greek, and her crew left after our “fabulous” continental breakfast.

Ackeroo's departure

  

Pete aloft

  Dan helped Pete with his new electric wench so that he could be hoisted up the mast to replace the wind vane, the signal halyard and the deck light. Everything worked perfectly. The only problem occurred when Pete was being lowered. His foot hit the deck light and knocked off the bulb and some of the fittings.  We needed to order a whole new light just for the parts that went overboard.  Once down, he realized he forgot to put the anti-bird “thing-y” on the wind-vane as well as the radar reflector. He will have to make one more trip up the mast again, but at least we know that his electric wench works. My guy really doesn't like hights, but the things he will do for sailing!

      Maureen called around 11 to ask if they could stop by after lunch. I quickly spread the word that they would be here.  Maureen and Glen, Sevilla, arrived shortly after 1:30 along with their friends from Annapolis, who have a time share in Marathon.  We spent a delightful time on the veranda catching up, discussing the resolution of the transmission issues, current and future plans.

     After they left, as we were setting the table for dinner, along comes Connie and Ed of Surprise (CCYC). With it being so cold up north, even in Brunswick, GA where Surprise is currently residing, they decided to join us in the warmth. They have been following our blogs and knew where to find us. They are booked in the Howard Johnson’s here in the harbor.

     I think we had a quorum to hold a meeting of the CCYC Southern Contingent. Since our meetings consist of good food, good drink and good friends, I would call this meeting a great success!
