We had a great Friday!! Scott and Teresa Cuckovich drove in from Lake Havasu, Jay and Cheryl Coleman came from Arcadia and Mike drove in from Las Vegas. We talked up a storm, dined at the 555 Club in Long Beach and then said "good night" to all but Mike, who spent the night before heading back to Vegas around 8:00 AM. Great fun! Thanks to you all for making the long drive in the pouring rain.
We are still working hard at getting the boat ready for our travels. Friday we found a table and chairs for the salon. Saturday we finally obtained the necessary foreign nation flags that we will need at great store Nikki's Flag Shop, on Old Newport Blvd. Thanks for all your help! We also hauled out the ancient microwave/convection oven (which sounded like a bear in pain when we used it) and replaced it with a new one that Dan installed it this evening. (Yes, I am working him ragged.) On the fun side, he bought a demo, stand up paddle board from a shop in Seal Beach and should get the "monster" tomorrow. Of course he called Dwayne for advice and approval before agreeing to the purchase. Now he just needs some warm water to try it.

Long Beach
The QUEST has now arrived at Long Beach and is docked at the Shoreline Marina, thanks to arrangements made by Pam and Vince Markese. Charlene Hoffstadt and I met with Vince and Pam at the marina and watched Dan bring the Quest in. Nice show! Thanks captains Greg and Todd for seeing her safely from Astoria to Long Beach and hope your flight home was uneventful.
Richard Hoffstadt joined us after his meeting and the tours began. By the time Jan, Dan's sister, arrived with Jackie (Mom) and Ed (Dad) and friends Debbie and Richard we were ready to party Querrey style. It was great to visit with family and friends in our new home. Thanks Jackie and Ed for dinner and drinks!
Dan already has the leaking helm steering unit apart and the rebuild kit ordered to repair it. That should be here tomorrow and Dan will get it rebuilt and ready to go. We plan to be here all week, leaving Monday, 2/08/10.
Thank you Richard and Charlene for your hospitality while I waited for Dan to arrive. I enjoyed my stay and visiting with Kelly, Tracy and the "grand boys". I was also grateful to see my friend, Elaine, from high school. We had a lovely morning visiting over coffee. We are blessed with good friends and family.
