We caught up with the Marston and Marshall families in Cuttyhunk on Friday Afternoon and all shared the Scott's mooring. Ted, Jane and TJ all came out for a sundowner.
We left Cutty the next morning bound for Kettle Cove with Wahine sailing alongside. Liza and Maddie were on Wahine and Tyler and Emma on Zusammen. The breeze was up around 25 and we had a sleigh ride East running over 8 knts regularly. We swung through Kettle and the wind Wes too West for a comfortable stay, so we kept rolling East to Cutty. Somewhere along the way, as Liza and Maddie were laying on the foredeck chatting away, a big 'Dancer passed Bob and the bow of Wahine buried on the second wave. The girls were covered, Bob thought they would go over and then when the deck cleared and the girls looked back at the cockpit with shocked faces, Bob starts laughing and the Girls start belly laughing as well. Wish we had a picture.
More significant challenges struck with the refit work over the weekend. The new holding tank pump leaked in the sail locker on Sunday. The whale pump screws were driven in and all missed their pre-drilled holes and the gasket leaked waste on the spinnaker ad into the locker. A nasty mess we are hoping is remedied on Tuesday AM.
The truck was sold this evening to Doug C. and we had a great final dinner at the club with the Woodcock family. We're closing in on the final days before departure. It's been great to have such enthusiastic support from the club and the members.
