Easter 2011

We had these great plans that we would go to Charleston for Easter and see our very good friends Boo & Tony,,,but then we talked about it and Richard was concerned about taking Good Friday off and then the following Thursday and Friday to go to Florida for the shuttle launch. Once Richard confirmed that the final shuttle launch would not be until late June he decided to take Good Friday off since I had it off. We talked about what to do with a 3 day weekend. It dawned on us that we had not been to the boat together since Memorial Weekend of 2010.

We quickly made the decision to load up the kids and a cooler and head off to the boat for some quality time together with our great love, Hale Kai.

We got to the marina around 11:30 on Thursday night, got everything onboard and had a relaxing nightcap before turning in for the night. Friday we scrubbed the decks to remove many months of pollen and dirt. We got the canvas back up which had been down since Hurricane Earl last fall. We went out to a local restaurant for lunch and had a great Cuban sandwich and fries. Did some shopping Friday afternoon then headed back to the boat.

Saturday Richard bought some bleach and went to work on the decks again to get rid of all the mildew and mold. She is finally white again.

Saturday afternoon nap for Kele.


Our friend Harry came over to help Richard get the microwave out and off the boat since we never use it. I could have called this post "microwave,,,we don't need no stinking microwave" but I digress.

Here the guys are discussing the best way to tackle the job.


Here the microwave is coming out,,,
