It is Monday night and I am sitting in the fish and slip restaurant at the marina waiting for your Mo and the rest of Tabasco‘s crew to arrive. They’ve made the sale down from the marina north to the Chesapeake and now have arrived at Norfolk. Your mom is coming in the dinghy with a first stop at the boat to transfer his gear. Captain Dana is coordinating this while I hold a table at the restaurant.

It seems like such a long wait but your mama is finally here. It’s been nice spending time with Dana alone, though Jackie just left, and it wasn’t a lot of time. Even so, I have had the chance to get to know him much better.

 Things are really kicking off now, looking forward to the adventure ahead.
