HYC Cruise -- Day 10, August 3 -- Lay Day in Westbrook

We all shared Mango-blueberry-sweet potato pancakes and bacon with our morning coffee.  Breakfast was cooked, except the coffee, on ILENE, but eaten on Blast due to cat allergies.

Then Diane and Lene went to market. 
Ernie accomplished a long and difficult repair to one of Blast's heads.
On ILENE two smaller projects this morning: hauled up in the bosn's chair to the first spreader to insert the new burgee halyard through its block, and replaced the mostly corroded sacrificial sink [last letter of alphabet still not available]  of the refrigerator's condenser.
North Star visited the pool in the late morning and all others (except Lene, who used the free wifi to get caught up with Jon Stewart) swam and read there in mid afternoon.

Heard from "Sangaris" that this fast Amel are already in Annapolis and will most probably get to the Club on Friday and to the final cruise dinner Saturday night in Centerport.

This is Blast's last night with the Cruise -- they are headed west to Essex for an Albin owner's meeting there.

We all enjoyed dinner tonight at Bill's Seafood Restaurant, just outside this 900 slip Marina.

Rain predicted tonight and sailable winds tomorrow for the passage to Milford where we hope to meet up with Stu and Barbara who plan to come by car.
