23-27May2013: Poulsbo!

Weather:  Mostly cool with sun breaks.

For the second straight Memorial Weekend, hooked up with RT, Merry Margret and Emma in Poulsbo!  This is a good rendezvous spot for us, about 5hrs for him, but a bit longer for us.  Since they are constrained by girl-in-school and girl-on-swim-team (Emma's Indian names), we give them the shorter distance.  Weather this year was not as nice as last, but still a wonderful place to be.

Brought the dogs with us this time.  The knuckleheads like to awaken at sunrise and it is early this time of year.  Fortunately, Sluys Bakery is open early and I could get a tasty treat while walking them (Viking Cup)!

Did not go out to dinner this time, but extensively tested RT's new grill (worked great).  Did a bunch of newly discovered boat maintenance.  Found many of the plastic bearing in the blocks had deteriorated when the main halyard block was discovered to busted and it was swapped out with a lesser used block off the preventer.

Got hauled up the mast to lube and apply di-electric grease to the wind instruments and VHF antenna.
