May 21 — Move Aboard Day

 We were delayed a bit because Cruiser had a weird twitch in his mouth and the earliest time his vet could see him on a Sunday was 4 pm. But then he spontaneously recovered, we cancelled, loaded our stuff and our crew into the mini SUV and got to the Club shortly after four. The cats were quiet in the car, as they usually are, and once boarded they seemed to be saying: Oh this again.The Club’s Open House was running strong but we took our four dock carts full of stuff down to the launch and were aboard by five. But it took several hours to get everything stowed away. This includes enough cat food to feed two cats for three and a half months! Dinner of leftover Old Salts popcorn and fruit. We have a list of what we forgot; I will bring it from home tomorrow after our provisioning shop for perishables. It looks like a calm cool dry night is in store here on our mooring, a world apart, of total privacy and serenity.
