July 4th 2001  

Is it the 4th of July already? 
I couldn't believe that we are that far into summer already



We started off the week with a BBQ over at Steve and Anna's boat

Lots of good food and beverages before the fireworks show at Jack London Square

Cal enjoyed his first dock party

The fireworks were awesome, we were right under them in the dink

From Marina Village we headed to Angel Island

The crew sure were in good spirits

Jeff prepared some of his world renowned Mexican food 

Which tastes even better with Margaritas

I was happy to just be sitting in the sun

From Angel Island we went to Sausalito for a few days

A great shot with the Gate behind us 

What a view! and the weather was great...

Karen relaxing onboard the Abacus

Some people would pay millions for this view

We had no shortage of food or drink

Or wine

Mr. Luke wants a cracker...

Great shot, great view!

There was one boat that did catch my eye.
I wonder what he pays a month for a slip?

We did have a chance to meet and talk to some of their crew members.
A very pleasant group from all parts of the world.

They came onboard, had a beer, and started cleaning.
I told them their checks were in the mail. I have got to get some crew....

When Jeff left in their dink to pick up Lori , I though he would never return 



This is how he normally accustomed to traveling

Famous last words from Jeff:

I promised Gary I would respect his space this trip,
and keep my cabin in tip top shape for the entire trip.

  

As usual, that lasted less than a day

Next trip your in this cabin, I am putting in the satellite TV as we speak Jeff
