Friday we had planned to take Gonzo out on the Island yacht club race with my brother Joe, and my Cousin Julia. They had both come out with us on the Santa Cruz 52 the week before and wanted to go out again on something
smaller. As it turned out we blew off the race and just went out for a nice evening sail. We then retired to the Lobster T for leftover sloppy joe's and painkillers. Somehow the word karaoke came up and before control could be restored the PS 3 was out and away we went. Julia and Dina obviously ran the show, but Joe and Pete got into the act as well. Rich and I did get a few car races in later in the evening, so it was not a total waste of video game console power.Saturday was for me a day of being on the road. I started off driving Julia to San Jose airport, and then after being home for an hour it was off off to the city to meet up with Joe and Dina at the Beach Chalet at the end of Golden Gate Park. This resulted in me finishing off the second full tank of gas that I had put in the car this summer. Not bad usage for three and half months. I finally filled the tank this morning, making three tanks fulls for the entire summer.
Saturday evening it was back to the Tiki bar for a final farewell to Pete.
Somehow I ended up joining their Rum drinking club. This is one of those deals where you drink one each of there 90+ Rums and then you get your name on the wall or something. Anyway we are off to a good start as I think I got seven Rums off the list on the first night.Sunday started off with a walk of shame to go get the car from in front of the Tiki bar and to get coffee and bagels. Actually other than going out for both breakfast and dinner Sunday was pretty uneventful. I even took a couple of hours off in the middle of the day to finish reading a book. John Grishams, The Last Juror. Don't bother...
So, there it is, a very mellow weekend. A little goal oriented drinking, karaoke, and surviving Saturday afternoon traffic.

Hi Dominic
Welcome to the Kill-Devil Club! My GF Peggy and I are up to ~60/97 at this point. It's a bit of a death-march as you start in on the back page.
We'll be there more frequently now that I've got a new-to-me boat that I've put into Grand Marina, and can crash there after FI runs.
Hope to see you there,
David
