Visiting Friends

We headed south down US 1 to visit friends and pick up some cockpit cushions.  The first stop was Titusville where we met Mike and Robin of Sea Change.  They recently purchased new cockpit cushions and gifted their old ones to us for Foreign Affair.  Mike and Robin also have a Catalina 380 and our paths crossed in Myrtle Beach in October. There Mike showed Dwayne how to draw power from the anchor windlass to run the anchor wash-down pump.  We had lunch together at a restaurant near the marina   The tuna tacos were delicious.

After lunch we headed further south to Daytona to meet up with John and Tammy who were exploring Florida in their RV.  The last time we saw each other they were returning from their snowbird tour of the Southwest and we were preparing to head out to Delaware to launch Foreign Affair.  It was a short but fun reunion.  We shared tales of the joys and trials associated with traveling around the country and learned that boats and RVs have much in common (high maintenance and expensive repairs).  We may or may not have another chance to get together in Florida as we will be traveling in opposite directions.  John and Tammy are bound for North Carolina and we are leaving soon for Key West.
