Distance Travelled: 0 nm | Lay Day, Buck's Harbor

We had not made definitive plans about leaving on Sunday, and as so often happens, we ended up just hanging out. No big deal; that's what cruising is all about for us. I also spent some time trouble shooting my nav computer/GPS interface problem. Even with my second laptop, things weren't working. Eventually I traced it to a corrupt piece of data in the GPS and once I purged all the old route and waypoint data everything worked great.

From the log: Up early with Gavin so H could sleep. Made breakfast and played for a while, then got in dinghy to motor around anchorage and pick up a few things ashore. Returned to boat 1030. Hu up 1045 or so. ¶ Went back ashore to play till lunch. Went to town landing and threw rocks. Picked up hot dogs and ketchup at Bucks Harbor Market. ¶ After lunch H and G had naps so I visited with Tim/Heidi/Britton for a while. Soon H was waving me home and we invited everyone over for cocktails. Andrew [Breece, college kid who has been living/working summers in Bucks Harbor for years.] came by and invited everyone out for dinner [at the] Bread and Water Cafe. ¶ Dinner was fun but unbelievably slow„H and G had to go home for bed before we were even seated! Arrived there 1930; seated 2015; everyone's food except Tim and I at 2200! Our pizzas were almost 10 more minutes after! Pathetic. Launched back to our boats around 2315 by Andrew. Chilly night again.
