Ahhh Pizza Pie!!

Ohhh we had a nice lunch today. Karen had a hankering for pizza so we decided to do lunch at Nina's on the Beach. A bit of a bike ride away. Well about the time I was going to land the bikes on the dock Ian and Sharon came by and said that a relative had loaned them the use of a car - a Cadillac no less. They needed to get some propane tanks filled and would be back to drive us to lunch.

We spent the rest of the morning installing the new Genoa control line and changing the direction of the roll to match the installation instructions to see if it would make the operation easier in a breeze. Unfortunately this puts the sun protection on the inside. For a few weeks should make difference and we can try the operation.

We had trouble pulling the sail up the other track on the furler track. About half way up I had to use low speed on the winch - that is just too much force. I brought the sail down with some difficulty and then we "greased" the sail bead with the zipper snap lubricant and it went all the way up with a lot loess force. Now to try it.

Ian and Sharon were back by noon and we all left for Nina's. Graeme and Laura came along and Laura went to the beach to sun bath and Graeme came along for lunch.

Well disappointment. Nina's doesn't open till 4pm on Sundays!! Well a helpful lady came by and gave us directions to another Nina's across town.. Ohh what the hey - everyone wanted pizza so we went. We saw an Advance Auto on the way and Ian graciously stopped so I could get some carburetor cleaner - try it on the outboard motor. We found the pizza parlor easily. The pizza was GREAT. Then off to the Publix for some beer. Bottles are easy to handle when you have a car and not riding a bus. Well that turned into a bit of a shopping trip so why not go to West Marine - Graeme's desire and hey the dive shop is next door.

Well I didn't buy anything from WM but ohhh I could not pass up a sale price on some Speedo swim trunks - picture will follow.
