In which we tour some boats, play at a playground, meet up with more family, eat pizza, swim in a pool, and sleep on a yacht aga
We got up and ate breakfast on the yacht. The ministry gets some day old stuff donated
from Trader Joe's and that is what we ate. I've still never been to one of those stores that I've heard so much about but the day old
stuff was quite tasty.
We lazed about and then got tours of both the yatch
(76') that we are staying on and the sail boat (maybe a little longer)
next door. Both of these boats have been donated to the ministry and
there are volunteers here working on fixing them up to prepare them for
their trip through the Panama Canal and on to Honduras where they are
planning on using them for pastor retreats throughout the Caribbean.

After a lunch of more day old Trader Joe's stuff we headed to the
Vagabond Motel in Costa Mesa where most the family members that had already
arrived for Grandma Maas's birthday celebration were gathered. (After a quick stop at a playground with a fun
plane that we played at while others made quick Kinkos/ grocery runs.)

At the hotel the kids swam in the pool (way too cold for swimming for me as it was
only in the lower 70s) and we ordered pizza with Steve's mom - Murl (the
birthday lady), Steve's siblings - Bernie, Mike, and Sue, Bernie's son
Bernie, with Crystal and their daughter Juniper and ate it
pool side.

Then we went back to the ship to sleep.
