Beautiful day for sailing, if we were sailing. We’re tied up at the wall in Newark, killing a day doing some needed stuff. Ziggy and Eve took both their laptops and are hoofing it down the road a ways to a computer repair place. I’m sitting on a swing with Arlene. (Wish it was Aaaarr-Lene from the Galley.) (Vicki – you didn’t read that.) Made Pillsbury cinnamon rolls for breakfast this am and only burned the bottoms a little. (Again, the crew survived all his attempts to poison them and take the treasure for himself and Aaaarr-Lene).
We have to do some soldering of a new GPS coax today, and will take advantage of the free laundry. I’m taking advantage of the down time to clean up my email and pictures folders.
Found out the local library had a $3 per bag book sale; all the books you could pack into a plastic shopping bag for $3. I restrained myself – only bought one bag’s worth. I was wondering where I would be able to replenish my supply of boat books – those throw-away novels that I would never, under other circumstances, consider reading. I think I’m set for the trip, now.
Watched the Wings lose with a bunch of guys at a bar. Yuengling is pronounced “Ying-ling”, much to my consternation.
We pick up Alex tomorrow evening, at Brewerton (North of Syracuse; West end of Oneida Lake).
Hi Dave, We really like looking at the pictures. The bridges are great. Hope you get to see the Wings play tomorrow evening. Everyone down here is going crazy, the houses are decorated like Christmas with Wings stuff. Hope all is well with you. Keep up the good work, it is an adventure you will never forget. Linda and Carl
