Dania Beach, FL - 4/1 11 & 4/2/11

Friday - 4/1/11 Another hot day so we stayed close to the boat today. Huen is still moving his stuff from his old boat to the new boat and Skip & I helped for awhile. It is had to believe that he accumulated all that stuff in just 2 years. He is having a diesel mechanic (female) to correct all the things the surveyor pointed out at purchase so he will be ready to move with us next month. In the afternoon Huen and Ken gave Ricki a new chicken dish tutorial for dinner in the evening and it was fantastic. We all gathered on Quest for dinner and after dinner cordials until after 11 p.m. Saturday - 4/2/11 After a late night we slept in quite late. Actually Skip knocked on the boat about 10 to see if I could go with him for a pump out just as I was getting awake. Upon return we helped Huen with figuring out where all the canvas pieces went. He has window covers, port hole covers, winter covers and even floor runners for everything. Quite a puzzle. Ricki made birthday calls to son Brian and mom Carole since they both share the same day .... just 50 years apart. Huen had the name changed on his new boat and we asked the guy to make us some new side name plate decals. He gave us a mystery potion to remove the old ones which worked like a charm for Ricki and the new ones will be on by Monday. Dinner tonight was at Poncho's Back Porch, a great Mexican restaurant, for the six of us. Ken and Bob are leaving tomorrow and driving back to Atlanta to help Dianne move the furniture out of their house since they have leased / sold it. Dianne is retiring on 4/29 to cruise full time with us. Ken will drive back here before Skip & Barb and Ricki & I all leave for home on 4/13 & 4/14. We will be back in WV from 4/15 thru 4/28. We are expecting a couple more loopers in the marina that we have traveled with before within the next day or so. That could make 7 of us leaving the first part of May and the marina will look deserted. The permanent boats here have already said they are going to miss the food and fun we have had.
