Thanksgiving 2009

We picked up Capt. Mike at the airport who arrived right on time.  We returned to the marina where Thanksgiving festivities were just underway.  Pete and Jane met a couple from Ireland who had just arrived at the marina and invited them to dinner.  They were from Ireland and had done a transatlantic a couple a years ago and have been cruising America since on their boat "Safari".  Here we all are just sitting down to dinner:                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Trudie and Jane did a GREAT job preparing turkey (I had earlier said it was going to be chicken...but was wrong) and all the fixing right down to a Trudie original homemake apple pie...Delicious !!!! And, here are the boys cleaning up after dinner:                                                                                                                

We had planned on leaving at first light for a motor down the ICW to St. Augustine, but the entire crew of Persephone overslept.  We awoke at 8 am and didn't get underway until just before 9 am.  We didn't make it to St. Augustine so we pulled off the ICW into a little creek to spend the night.   Again, we are anchored in an isolated area far from civilization.   Trudie is making dinner as I type, and Mike is drinking a beer.  Yes, all is in balance aboard Persephone.
