Wed, Thurs, Fri May 24-26  Sassafras River Marina

We are here in the marina for a few days and hope to accomplish a few chores.  Since we have a car available to use, Colletta went shopping with the girls while Tom, John and Mark worked on Greeks Folly with the antenna and then the head.  Another day Tom and John took the car and did their shopping while Colletta worked on the computer and in the aft cabin.  Also the big event on Wednesday was that Mark and Becky had their new boat delivered to Duffy's marina and we all went to help and watch the exchange of ownership take place.  The 27 foot trailer-able tug boat is sure cute and sure small compared to what we are all use to.  Wednesday we then enjoyed dinner once again aboard Short Vacation and had a champagne toast to celebrate the new arrival.  Thursday we enjoyed dinner with fellow Loopers, Susan and Foster Schucker whom we have not seen since 2014.  On Friday, we waited patiently for the small outboard motor to be repaired.  It was the first day in about a week in which the sun shone, at least for awhile.  Also the wind blew from the west and blew water into the harbor which made for a very high water level.  Also the locals began to arrive and prepare their boats, washing and stocking, for the long holiday weekend.  We enjoyed our last dinner with Mark and Becky before they head back to Iowa and then return and start their adventure on their new boat.
