Mom & Dad came aboard last night and we celebrated with filet mignon (actually a Christmas gift we owed my folks from 2 years ago!).
Dropped me and mom off onshore this morning to bring the car to Pepperell Cove, where Dave and dad met us with Indigo Lady. After hosing her down (for a clean start 😉), and topping off her water tanks, we set off at 10:30am for our first stop at the Saco River.
It was a smooth run, but we had some shakedown issues involving false system readings and some reprogramming. To be expected, thus one reason for this cruise.
Dad saw one smallish whale briefly. Dave sighted one porpoise briefly. There was a flotilla of Canada geese to see us off from Pepperell 🙂.
We are now sitting comfortably on a town mooring in the Saco River enjoying a round of our signature boat drinks (pirated from a lovely gentleman with an awesome cabana bar in the Virgin Islands where we bought Lady, and perfected over the 2300 miles sailing her home).
Lime in Da Coconut (aka- Indigo Ladies): 1/2 C each Cruzan rum, pineapple rum, coconut rum, lime juice, and cream of coconut, blended with ice. Serves four.
