Fri Aug 26: Hawkesbury to Montebello Muni Marina

Is there anything sadder then a one-armed man trying the sweep the floor?!? That is what I awoke to .... Luckily he can still make me tea.

We had a slow start this morning (hooray!!) due to a lovely rainstorm.  By 1pm the sun was out and we pushed off for Montebello.  

While driving we played a game we recently invented, called  'what sets weekend boaters apart from us'. Here are some of the things we have agreed on so far - clean cloths, ice that is not melted, a recent shower, nicely combed hair, a clean boat, and pale or sunburned skin.  

It was a short hop, which was good because the one-armed man kind of overdid it yesterday (DUH). Even handicapped he impressed the dockhands at Montebello with his mad docking skills (very capably aided by his first mate, I might add). And where do you think our first stop was???  If you guessed the Montebello Fromagerie you were exactly right!  Then it was a quick spin around the town and a quiet reading night on the boat. We'll have all day tomorrow to look around...

Frippery is one of my favorite words in English, but much more elegant in French.  What a great name for a store!
