When we were first making the appointment to stay in Deltaville we heard about the Beneteau (which is the boat we have) rendez-vous. It was the last weekend in May. We thought for sure we'd be gone by then, well we weren't. We were a little apprehensive about going thinking that it may just be party of "gray hairs" (no offense to anyone with gray hair), but we signed up anyways. And we were glad we did, we had a really good time.
There was a potluck on Friday night, which we cut short, so that Josh could win some laundry money! Kosta (the owner of the marina) invited us over for a poker game. Now for anyone who knows Josh, he never wins at poker. Well luck was on his side, i think I can do at least 6 loads with all the quarters he won!!!
On Saturday, Josh and I went to class at the Beneteau thing. We both attended a lecture on engines. The guy giving the course said, "Well most of you are still breaking in your engines, you know under 50 hours". L'Attitude has 4800 hours!! I guess that comment didn't apply to us. The rest was quite helpful. After that Josh went to...electronics, quelle surprise. Once he finished lusting after the guys 12" chartplotter screen (We are more than happy with our chartplotter - thank you Aunty Michelle!), he picked up some new tricks.
I went to learn about weather. The guy teaching the class was great. It really helps understanding the weather reports, other than simply reading them. In the afternoon there were classes on knots and one titled "Talking heads", everything you wanted to know about toilets. All in all very informative.
Saturday night was FIESTA night!!!! the photos was of a Father and Son duo who won 2nd prize. Josh and I won "most newly acquired boat" and we were the definite shoo in for "youngest combined of Captain and Admiral". They started the combined age at 80 (which would mean that both people are around 40 years old), no one put up their hand. We had a combined age of 55!!
Gray hairs or not, we had a great weekend.
