3/22/2009 - Captain Patrick's Birthday Extravaganza

We celebrated Captain Pat's Birthday a few days early on Wendy Kornbeck's catamaran Caritas, followed by a feast at Wendy's house. The wind speed reached over 35 knots while we were in the slip, so that is where we remained while Pat and Wendy made some wiring modifications.
At Wendy's house we were joined by Pat's two sons, their Grandmother, Capt. Andy, his lovely wife Gaye and the Overstreet clan, Ross, Beth and Mia. A fun time was had by all. Even Mia laughed her way throughout the evening. She'll sleep well tonight.
