It seems impossible but we have been here over a week and Tom just today put the dinghy in the water and took it for a spin. Hey, we've been busy! But he needed to take some old dinghy gas to the boat yard so rather than walk with the dock cart, he launched the dinghy and motored over. It was a good chance to run the outboard and blow some cobwebs out.

This past Friday Tom had a first hand chance to try out the new washers and dryers while watching the US Open. AC and TV (golf no less) make laudry better. He had planned on doing the same yesterday for the final until we got a call from some fellow liveaboard here in the marina. Bruce and Gina (lovely New Zealand couple) invited us to go with them to Darien to watch the final round of the US Open.

Darien is a small place just up the road from Brunswick and they knew of a kewl little waterfront wine bar where we could watch. We were the only ones there at first but a few locals filtered in - very much like "Cheers - where everyone knows your name." It was a fun roadtrip.

Today we got a ton done this morning around the boat and then headed to the beach once again to cool off.
It is a National Geodetic Survey Vertical Datum post. A known surveyed point used as a reference in map grids of the US.
