Frank and Carol are flying in tomorrow to boat with us for a while, so we are staying in Grafton till Sunday morning. John and I cleaned the boat inside and out. Prepared the front cabin for habitation again - we had been using it as a work and storage area. By the afternoon, Sara and John were heading to the pool and spa - great idea - so we joined them. Some other Loopers were there so we had a pleasant time swapping stories. The pool and hot tub are on a floating barge. Grafton Marina also opened it's own winery in March making it the only floating winery in the world. The marina is gearing up for this weekend's big festival. In the first pic, notice in the background one of the many wineries in this area. That one happens to be Grafton Winery. I drank their Blackberry Wine last night. Really nice. This place is party central on the weekend's. See the picture of Wayne's World houseboat. Not sure if that vehicle has left its slip in quite a while, but he's already there this morning getting ready for the weekend. Their town motto is "Keywest to the Midwest". I thought that meant they fancied themselves a funky, partying place like Key West, but they actually mean that a lot of Loopers come here so they are traveling from the Midwest down around Florida. They have 128 covered slips - Sundowner is in one of them (middle of bottom pic) - and 52 uncovered - Free Bird is in one of those. So we'll see tomorrow how this eclectic group gets together.
