06:00 It's Woodstock 40th Anniversary Party Day
I'm leaving for work. I give my guys each a kiss. They're so cute, laying the same way, snuggled under the blankets.
16:00
When I get 'home' from work Phil already has the ribs sautee'ing and grilling. Most of the food is out for the party. Sailor's busy playing with his toy pirate ship.
16:30
People arrive throughout the next hour and begin eating right away. K's here first carrying her original 1969 purple Woodstock t-shirt. We hang the shirt from the stern rafters in a place of honor. She goes back to her bus for herWoodstock CD. Sailor tags along. Sa' asks her to "Say it. Say it."
"Say what?" she asks.
Sa' looks at her with amazement, as if, 'how could she not know what he's talking about'.
"Ohhh" and she understands and says Sailor's Secret name (that I don't know) that he told her two weeks ago. Sa' cracks up with laughter.
17:00
Sailor takes a nap in his v-berth.
17:30
We get underway to Waverly marina's gas dock. We put in 80 gallons of diesel = $172.00 = maybe a couple inches worth in Victory's big tanks.
Then, we head downtown to silhouette. K's up in the Pilot House driving. She's the guest of honor and the only person here that attended Woodstock.
19:00
Sa's awake. As we near the park dock he wants to go fast - which is relative in a full displacement hull. Sa sits on Phil's lap up in the Pilot House. Phil kicks up the speed.
Everyone on deck looks at me questioningly as we speed past our stop. I explain.
evening
We visit the evening away as we watch the sunset and the city lights come on.
21:00
Sz comes late. Sa'gives her a tour of the Pilot Houe helm. He gets the fast/slow, forward/reverse throttles correct which relieves me, because sometimes, since I seldom drive, I forget.
21:30
Sz, her chihuahua Poppy, Sailor and I head up to the park to play ball.
Our niece and her friend make a beer run and stay in the park late with Sz and N, our sailboat neighbors.
12:00
We're all tucked in for the night.
The last visitors head home. Suzann
