After a long but easy drive to Melbourne we have been slowly getting Grey Hound ready for a 4 month sail this winter. We launched in Ballard Park. It was a great facility and probably the nicest launch we have ever used. We had no issues stepping the mast and with Tom's help we were ready to motor down the cove to Waterline Marina for a few days to provision. After doing a zig and zag around a bunch of piling we pulled into our slip. Amazingly, we already knew our neighbors!!
While trying to get to the dock (yep, it was a tight fit) I yelled over to a couple to grab the dock lines. As crazy as it gets......they happened to be Roger and Danielle on Chocobo. The Manta 40 cat is from Montreal and they were docked on "D" dock at Sackets two years ago!! Talk about a small world. They are just starting their round the world trip.
The night before was an outing to Lou's Blues with Jean and Tom....a cool pub with live music. It was a great time and the music was good. A good time was had by everyone.
