TGiving Day Potluck

Brunswick Landing Marina hosted a great TGiving Potluck. Two 20 lbs smoked turkeys, two 20 lbs grilled turkeys, 1 HUGE spiral ham, 3 Boston Butts. *Side note - a Canadian cruiser told us that morning there would be "something called a Boston Butt - Sherry says it's pork but I don't know what part." I assured him it is pork and in fact it is the pork shoulder. "But she called it a Boston Butt." "Yes, but it's actually the shoulder." I don't know if that helped him or made matters worse. Anywho...attendees were required to bring a side dish. And man did the cruisers ever comply. There was SO much good food. YUM Feast indeed.
Below our new neighbor Chris starts his special "cheesy potatoes casserole".
I opted for straight on traditional mash potatoes, gravy and store bought rolls. *Check out the boat friendly masher....it swivels, pivots and folds very flat for storage. Table clothes covered the laundry machines so we could put out the spread and the chow line was formed.It was nice enough to eat outside. Until the end of the party when the no see ums came out for their TGiving feast on us. Still scratching.But like all the other holidays celebrated here in America...what holiday wouldn't be complete without some cannon fire. Jake from Dock #12 who by the way... looks like sailor Bob Bitchin's younger brother, brought this ear drum buster. He build this himself, keeps it stashed on his boat and isn't afraid to use it on any special occasions. Repeatedly! I was afraid to ask if he declares it when he cruises to other countries - some topics such as firearms on boats, are best left for non-holiday discussion times.
