Memorial Day weekend was beautiful except for some brief rain early Saturday evening. Most of the A-Dock fleet is back and there was lots of washing, polishing and loading up all the stuff we'll need - or think we'll need - over the summer.
Act Three has settled into her new dock location and Frances has moved in and carefully stored more stuff that I never knew we had. However, it all fits and although our waterline has crept up an inch or so, I'm sure we'll be fine as long as I can find the vodka and orange juice.
Lou worked up a sweat polishing his beautiful Four Winns (note the cool black gloves)
While Joel prepped his new outboard for its first sea trial.
Bob and Diane weren't with us this weekend since they had a wedding to attend in Newport. Not having them there was odd and Carol Ann suggested that we all invade their boat and send them our best wishes. Here's CA's cellphone production...
By Monday afternoon, the work had slowed and at least part of the A-Dock crew could be seen discussing just about anything from their perch at the end of the dock.
It's great to be back among these folks who have become our friends over the past few years.
Weather permitting, we're off to Greenport next weekend and then to Block Island for another five days or so.
it was NOT a raid, it was an invasion dammit. Once again, you have taken my very rudimentary (Frances is helping me spell)video and made it a super cool documentary. I'm thinking that Bob and Diane, once they get over the shock of the invasion, will be (mostly) charmed by this effort by the A dockers. Good work, Bill!
ReplyDeleteOkay, all you voyeuristic A-Dockers, and you know who I mean Louie and Bear to name but a few; y'all need to not just look but post a commment. Otherwise it is just a lonely place out here in the blogosphere. And by the way, Bear, we invaded your cooler and drank your wine with our crab cakes for dinner. It was very good!!!!!
