Today was pretty quiet.  Dale tinkered on the sump pump a bit and doubled checked the front transom for light leaks.  However, we did end the day with everyone on our boat (except Rum Truffle) for Easter Dinner which turned out to be fabulous.  I had made a honey butter pork loin, Nicky is a genius with vegetables (anyone who can make me want seconds on cauliflower is amazing) and Renee made not only her home made bread but delicious roasted potatoes.  We finished with another of my fruit pizzas.  This time a strawberry and banana one.  I’m learning that once I make it, I can’t put it back into the fridge as it causes the cookie crust to get mushy.  The guys said they’d keep us around a while longer. 

We sat around well into the evening but teased Gene and Renee that this time they needed to get their bearings before leaving as they apparently took off in the wrong direction when they left Opal the other evening and actually approached the wrong boat before figuring out were they were.  It can happen.  We try to leave our lights on and hope that they are unique enough to spot from a distance.  So far, we’ve made it back to the right boat each time. 

That’s about it for today.  Sorry no photos; we were enjoying each others’ company too much to think about it. 

I’m considering writing every other day for awhile as there really isn’t much we’re doing; except killing time until the rest of the islands open up again.
