Sunday turned into a wonderful friend-reunion afternoon/evening. We were invited to Brandywine Estates restaurant managed by Claudine Pearson (Chris Pearson's daughter) and her partner Regis. Our luncheon evolved into dinner with many hours of delightful conversation and catching up. Becky provided the driving skills to get us back to our boat safely.

Monday was spent provisioning the boat. We managed to fill two large shopping carts with food and drink which we had to cart out to the boat in two trips of the dinghy. It was hot and exhausting so we only stored the fresh stuff before heading to Becky's house for dinner with her and Emma (and Moon and Kalem). We snuck in a couple loads of laundry while watching the beautiful sunset from Becky's patio.

Today we spent the morning finding nooks and crannies to put all the tins and bottles. Hoyden is now very full. We are still in Soper's Hole and plan to relax a bit this afternoon. Tomorrow morning we will fill up the diesel and water tanks, clear customs, secure the dinghy, and head towards the Azores on Wednesday morning.
