June 05, 2000 -- Light Work Today

After the net, we called Yvonne to find out what her schedule was. She told us she was shopping, and wouldn't be able to pick us up until 11:00 or so. That worked out for us, since I needed to do some sewing. Mike pulled out my sewing machine and I sewed patches on our dinghy cover where it had ripped. The new dinghy has a couple of connections where the hand strap secure to themselves and these wear on the cover. After we completed that, we called Yvonne, and spent the afternoon there. We stopped by West Marine on the way since we needed some stuff and gave Rob a ride because he was picking up a part he ordered. After returning to the boat and having dinner, we took a dinghy ride around the anchorage. We talked with the folks on 'If' for a bit. They were also in Fernandina Beach during the storm. As we were headed back to the boat, Rob and Janet on Emerald Dragon invited us over for a drink. We begged off since we were both pooped from spending the day with Yvonne and the kids, and it was almost 9:00 at night! When we first started cruising we could not figure out why bed time for everyone seemed to be around 9 or 10pm. We through it was because they did not have TV's on board. Well low and behold we are asleep early and up early (at least Mike is) I like to sleep late, getting up normaly around 7:45 or 8:00am
