Sunday - August 11

 Today started out sunny and calm as could be.   We picked Donna up and went to 8:00 Mass with Father Jonathan at Immaculate Conception.   Father said he's going on a 3-week trip (Mediterranean cruise out of Rome.   We are happy for him but sad for us as today was our last time with him till next spring.    He's a GEM!!!

Then to the Elks for their Sunday-during-the-Summer All You Can Eat Buffet + Bloody Mary's, Mimosas and Coffee Cocktails (coffee with rumchata).    What a wonderful spread of every breakfast item imaginable all prepared and served by the Elk men and women and open to the public.    We've heard about this and seen the ads, but 1st time for us - excellent and all for $14.    All proceeds go to various charities.

We came out of the Elks and whoaaaa.....crazy windy AGAIN!!!!   On home and got a pic of Donna - what a fun friend, neighbor and boat sister!!!

Donna and "So Blessed"

We visited with Michael, Chris and Donna and then set to work getting a pump out for Catrina and a good scrubbing.   With all the wind, won't take long to dry.

Flower fix for today - downtown is full of Mandevillas

Bob arrived this afternoon for a few days.   He and Donna live on a farm, so always lots to do but happy when he can get away from it all and come to his boat!    A big 61' Sea Ray came in from Sarnia, Ontario with engine trouble.   Mechanic will check it out tomorrow.

Michael, Chris, Bob, Donna, Mark and I went to Ciao Bella for dinner...

No zoom tonight for us.  

Mark's sister Sharon is coming from Louisville tomorrow for a few days!   1st time for her to see Catrina, Port Clinton, etc.
