Gail and John Cousins are traveling with us for the first 2 1/2 weeks. They have lots of experience on this boat. They were on board a year ago for 5 weeks....yes, and in spite of that, they signed up for this trip. They arrived in Bayport at 10:00 as the fuel tank was being filled and the 'poop' tank was being emptied. Just as we were preparing to start the engine and set sail, five of our friends came around the corner of the gas dock to surprise us: Lyle Merriman, Roy & Norma Baker, Ed Johnson and Marcia Torning. They said that they just wanted to see us off, but I think they were sent by a larger contingency to make sure we left----
