Thundridge to Sausalito 3rd Sept 2014
The day began with a minibus collecting us both and not a taxi, it had a pink plastic interior and disco lights, a good omen for fun on our 8 week break to California?
The flight was uneventful and after travelling by the Marin Airporter with a lookalike James Gandolfini, got a taxi to Schoonmaker Marina. Met up with Mike and Eva who had just finished work, and they walked with us to our dock. On putting our bags onto 'Noelani" I wondered why someone had left a furry hat on the ropes under the cuddy, suddenly it moved and blinked 'A RACOON'.
As most people will know never confront a racoon who has no escape, after a moment's hesitation I jumped off 'Noelani' called for back up from Dan and Mike.
Mike came running, grabbed the hosepipe, but Dan had to grab the bags I had put on the boat in case they got soaked by the hose.
The racoon eventually moved onto the Grand Banks next to us and went into their open window (they were not there)
So too weary after being on the go for nearly 24 hours, to head off for pizza and red wine, we eventually settled for clam chowder out of a tin and bottles of Sierra Nevada.
Tomorrow (Thursday) already have a date with Eva at Knit Nite, and Friday night at Saylors with Gator and Darnell.
