Happy Birthday, Jimmy Guenther! We're Still in Oriental, NC

Happy Birthday to our oldest grandson, Jimmy Guenther, who turns 22 today!

Winds kept us in Oriental, NC, another day. I walked Jazzy over to the office to pay for another day and over to the Marine Provisions store. They are getting low on some T-shirts and I inquired about the lack of stock. It seems that are holding off on ordering to decide if they're going to stay in business. How sad. It's a really neat store.

Chuck worked on a few projects around the boat. All-in-all, it was a frustrating day, stuck on the boat with high winds and lots of bouncing around.

Patti cooked dinner: chicken, parmesan noodles and carrots. Then Chuck and I went over to visit Bill and Sue Schadt on Nice 'n Easy. We left Jazzy on our boat. We had a drink and got a tour of their boat. They are selling their Island Packet 38 and moving to a trawler. I would LOVE to consider it, but it's a 5 ft. draft...won't work where we are!

And it's a lot of wood to keep up...lots of sanding and varnishing.

It was great to spend some time with them!
