Wednesday, September 9, 2009

The morning was spent on odd jobs around the boat and then at 12:30 we pulled anchor and headed towards Ottawa Landing, the town courtesy dock. When we arrived, we saw that Ally’s Cat was still moored there and we pulled in behind her. We loaded up the laundry on our cart and set out to find the laundromat. The afternoon had become very hot and humid, so we were sweating pretty good by the time we walked the seven blocks. Gale and Lucy left Maureen at the laundry so she could complete that task while they walked back to tend to other things. By 4:30 pm, we were all back home. Maureen was pleasantly surprised to find that Gale had plugged into shore power and turned on the A/C! Nice!

We visited a bit with Don and Ally, of Ally’s Cat, and learned that they were the original owners of their 2000 Gemini, Hull No. 711. We showed each other our boats and talked about the differences, improvements and solutions to various issues related to the Gemini. Don and Ally have been doing extensive traveling on their boat since they retired 9 years ago and had lots of good advice for us. We hope to meet up with them again between here and Florida.

It was great to talk to you yesterday! Things at home are fine. Cole's doing well with football. Ventura is 1-1. Tonight we are headed to Clarksville. He already has 2 interceptions. His goal is 6 as he lead the district with 5 last year! Stay safe! We love you! ME and the boys!
