What a special day!!! We could sleep in because we did not have far to go. I made Bob’s favorite breakfast of corned beef hash and poached eggs with crumpets and a birthday candle. Being here on our boat makes this a special birthday for Bob. He really misses the kids and granddaughters, but he is doing his dream.

Melanie Cove was more spectacular than the last one. We anchored right next to a hidden waterfall and could hear the water running. What a great sound for sleeping!!

Mark, Roseanne, Kathy, and John joined us for Bob’s birthday dinner. Mark and Roseanne made a cute picture collage of our trip so far, and Kathy and John brought over a fabulous wine to celebrate with. We had the fresh fish that Bob & John had caught, plus crab that we had caught in our crab traps last night and I made a pineapple upside down cake. We had a great party for Bob’s 60th.
