It is currently 10.29, a beautiful cool night, absolutely still, and just the sounds of music and people can be heard.

The day started out with a flurry of activity. Brian wanted to make sure Flight 2 was clean and sparkling for the sailing ahead of us. He is very proud of his yacht, and so he should be it is a real beauty. So the decks got scrubbed and cleaned, we loaded up "Diane" our inflatable boat and we were on our way.
