A cold, wet January day when everything you want to do on a boat is curtailed by the weather. Boat projects are merely discussed in the warmth of a heated house. A few of us checked on our boats earlier in the day but mostly the boats are lonely and cold - waiting for the winter months to pass.
The occasion of the January gathering was held at the home of Bui & Susan. Because it was a Sunday, we decided to meet in mid-afternoon so those people who had to work on Monday would have enough time to recover from multiple rounds of (demon) rhum. As usual, appetizers, main courses and desserts were plentiful. No one went home hungry.
Discussions were centered on boats and the coming year's activities. Blue Stache and Diana's impending retirements that will enable them participate in a world-wide cruise with Briese Galets that will put them in Sydney, Australia, for the International Zap in March 2010. Cruz and Upwind are planning to relocate to Rebel Marine early in the year (this got El Maestro thinking about a similar move). And, of course, it wouldn't be a true boater's get-together without plenty of conversation about maintenance & projects.
