We spent most of the morning rigging the sails and lines. We talked to a few people around the club and met a past commodore of DYC, Jerry Richardson. He and his wife are living on their beautiful boat just in front of us. They have been cruising the boat for about 5 years now and plan to do so at least another 10, living the dream!
While we were packing the boat up, we tried to leave as mush as we could since we finally came to the realization of how much we had. And by "we," I mean Scott, I had previously declined packing a pillow because I was already getting claustrophobic with the amount of gear packed into boxes. We re-provisioned; just for dry ice, chapstick, nuts, and floss. But we learned many things on our shopping spree; the West Marine on Marathon is the most expensive we have ever been to, we should have budgeted more for dry ice, cheap crab traps are exactly that (cheap!), and we need to invest in a better cooler.
We dropped the truck off at Driftwood Marina and took a cab back to MYC. The rest of the night we studied the charts and cruising guides, stressing ourselves out over the shoals that lie ahead in tomorrow's adventures.
Craving adventure,
Lauren & Scott
