Finally got the whole crew (minus one) for the Ha Ha together to take a crew photo. Lorraine, since she lives in L.A. will be joining us at the last minute in San Diego. Photo # 1 from left to right: Hank, Patty, Chris, yours truly & Sue. Lorraine's pic is the other one. At any rate, we had a nice BBQ, drank some wine, had some laughs and got excited about the trip. This should be a very fun trip as everyone going has a somewhat irreverent sense of humor! The one thing we forgot was to come up with Halloween costumes for the big party so that is yet to be done. Yesterday Chris finished the forward head (whoo hoo!) so today we can start on the hoses on the aft head. One shroud has been replaced and #2 is being made. Since those are what hold up the mast we can only remove one at a time. That means our wonderful friend, Mike, has to go up the mast numerous times to get it all accomplished. Just received a phone call that the hardware for installing the solar panels is ready to be picked up so will be off to get that shortly. Chris is also planning to start working on the battery bank today. Click...click...click...things are falling into place like the tumblers in a combination lock. Good news since we only have 21 more days available to get everything done. YIKES! We are able to find an occasional moment for some entertainment so that is all good. Sunday I was able to accompany Sue when she took her new Catalina 22 out for the maiden sail. GREAT fun! She is really going to enjoy this first boat and I can't think of anyone who needs a boat of their own more!
