First thing I did this morning was take the starboard curtain to a canvas shop to have the plastic window replaced. She said it would be ready Friday.
What a convenience, having Butch's rented car! We all went over to West Marine (twenty miles each way) and bought out the store. Ate at Burger King on the way back.
Al's son used to be a Navy Seal at the amphibious base next door to where we are now. Al phoned his son, who is now in Alaska, and got a list of names of his old buddies who might still be here. Then Al phoned the base and talked with one of them. He offered to give us a guided tour of the base and also to give Al the information he needed for splicing the new line we bought.
Al brought the neatest video camera with him. It's not much larger than an ordinary still camera, but it does everything under the sun. You can even play the tape directly back to a TV. Al is going around taking pictures all over the place.
After supper, Roy had a lengthy conversation with Al regarding the size of the boat vs. the quantity of gear Al brought. Al agreed to ship a lot of it back.
