We filled up with water and pumped out at Georgetown Yacht Basin before we left this morning. We had wanted to top up with diesel and gas but their pumps were empty and the fuel tank was a day late in coming so we left anyhow, knowing we had enough fuel. The current was going to be more favourable by noon for traveling but we were underway by 1130. Gorgeous day but a bit on the cool side. Light jackets were required but we did not have the full enclosure up either.

If you look really hard, you will see the boat that burst into flames (the whole top part of the boat is missing).

We motored all day as what little wind there was, was on the nose. Didn't I say that the last time we were traveling? Diana and Gilbert phoned us. They were on their way to Swan Creek as well so we arranged to meet them for a crab fest. Gilbert had caught 12 blue crabs! There were two other couples we knew who were also going to be in Swan Creek so we had a quick visit with one and just a phone conversation with the other before dinghying to Gilbert and Diana's boat where we had a wonderful meal of fresh crab.

The first tray of cooked crabs.

Gilbert couldn't wait!

A small but mighty feast.



The crabs were yummy but a lot of work for a little bit of meat! (I'm glad the mess was on their boat.)
