After hours of unpacking, we decided to quit and take a late dinner out (we still haven't provisioned fully). The sky darkened quickly and we jumped when a deafening thunder clap sounded overhead.
Knowing a deluge was imminent, we dropped everything and headed to the truck. The rains began. And it poured. Raining cats, dogs, ponies and the occasional giraffe. By the time we got to the restaurant the blinding rain was over. Two rainbows lit up the freshly washed sky.
Was one a bright promise for our future and the other a reflection of the bright past enjoyed by Punk and Joe aboard Carolyn Ann? We hope so.
Rest was easy and deep that first night, and last night too. We're still dotting "i"s and crossing "t"s. Our boat cards and the boat lettering will arrive soon.
After the renaming ceremony, we'll cruise up to Mear's Point Marina in Grasonville, MD for the MTOA Fall Rendezvous. (that's Motor Trawler Owners Association)
Wow! You get to break a bottle of champagne over the bow. That would be a fun ceremony to attend. Looking forward to hearing about your exciting adventures.
ReplyDeleteI can tear up over that truck, soon it will be sitting all by herself as you motor away. Have fun.
