The Easter Bunny found his way to Titusville and left a basket of chocolate goodies (and Peeps! of course) for Jassa. (Scroll through photos to see another Easter delivery to two pretty girls!) Very windy this morning. And gray. Cliff and I are happy not to be departing in the wind as we will be VERY short-handed as we leave the dock tomorrow. With Ann’s bad shoulder, we are down to 3 good “hands.” Jessica and Jassa left mid-day and Cliff and Ann went to work: get dinghy drained and re-attached to stanchions, straighten up inside of boat, scrub down outside of boat, dry chrome (who knew it would rain in about 10 minutes), fill the 136 gallon water tank, change linens in guest bath & berth, wash never ending supply of dirty glasses and dishes (note to self: send a thank-you note to Roger and Will for all the dishes they did while on board!), do some re-provisioning for the next several days, find a West Marine store and spend more with them, return Avis car, do laundry and then navigate the jigsaw puzzle of storage to put away the clean clothes. Oh, and dash around madly when it started raining (hard!) to close open doors and zip up driving station…then drape the items that got rained on around the cabin so they could dry. Whew! Watched the UConn-Maryland women’s basketball game and crashed.
Well, it appears that Jassa’s visit on Dot Calm with his grandparents was a huge success filled with many good memories. We are thinking of you this morning as you take off on another leg of the journey of a lifetime. Wish we were there with you to assist with the lines and to savor more gorgeous views on the ICW. Yesterday, we both spent time enjoying all the great photos of our part of your trip. Love you both.
