Saturday April 11
It’s cleaning day, boat and laundry! FaceTime’d with the kids. Every year I would have a big Easter dinner for all on Saturday, we would be missing that even if we were home. Also did a small grocery run to get a ham for Easter dinner, as well as ready made scalloped potatoes, fresh fruit salad, Caesar salad and a cheesecake for dessert.
Joy brought a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers, a tall OXO canister makes a lovely vase!
Dinner with friends. Cheese and crackers before Grilled fish and vegetables. Dan and I, John and Joy and Leslie. After dinner we colored hard boiled eggs, and played the egg cracking game, John won

Who is Leslie, does she live in San Diego and are you eating at her home? Glad you are able to enjoy a fun Easter Weekend🐰🐇🐣🐤 The trick to winning the egg battle is using the pointer end of the egg and being the attacker 😏 Happy Easter, Love You!!!

Yes Leslie lives in San Diego, 2 miles from where our boat is. Her late husband was a world class level sailboat racer and they also raced Thistles. She is good friends with John and Joy. We actually met her maybe 35ish years ago in Rochester.

Hi Carol and Gary, good to hear from you! Yes a little different from sailing on the bay. We are learning a lot as we move along. We hope to be in Alaska late June, if Canada will allow us to pass through. Thanks for your encouragement. Dan & Marlene
