LAST MEETING, IT'S TIME TO CRUISE!!!

Hello to all!

Barbara and I are hosting the meeting and dinner tonight.

For those of you who have not been to our house and need directions we live at 29211 7th Place South in Federal Way. If you get off of I-5 at the 320th Street exit in Federal Way take 320th West to Highway 99. Highway 99 is Pacific Highway South. Go north on PHS about 2 miles to the construction zone. At the first stop light in the construction zone turn left onto Dash Point Road. At the first traffic light on DPR turn right onto 11th Avenue South. Go down the hill until you reach 293rd Street. Turn left and go to the end of the street. Look across the street and our house is to your right with a flat roof and a bunch of cars.

Barbara has planned a big turkey dinner since we won’t get one this year. (I’m having the duck at Craig and Sally’s!).

I’ve been told 2 hours is way too much time for a meeting. Fine. We can get through all our plans in less than one hour if everyone gets here by six o’clock and we start right in. Then we can have dinner at seven.

Please have a clear head for at least the first hour because the information we need to cover is important.

I am asking Patti and Lysa from their respective boats to fill out our customs documents tonight. This will save us the time and hassle of doing this at the dock with VIP.

To our cooks, please bring or be ready to create a duty schedule for the entire cruise assigning the cooking and cleaning duty for each meal period we will have. There will be 11 dinner periods. We will only make 4 dinners. Those dinners should be cleaned up by the couples that make the meal, so that leaves 7 evening cleanings when we won’t be making a meal. One evening per cruiser makes sense to me…easy. 11 lunches. Lunch will require the most effort. Some days we will have hamburgers some days we will have cold sandwiches and probably other things. This person should clean the kitchen after everyone is through with lunch around 2:00 PM? 11 breakfast periods. This person should setup the coffee maker the night before and clean the kitchen after everyone is through getting whatever they want for breakfast. Say, clean the kitchen by 10:30 in the morning?. We might want to have two or three mornings with a big (cooked) breakfast. This might be a fun get together time on some of the mornings we will not be moving the boat. Just a few of my thoughts on the subject. Overall, if properly organized and cooperation is maximized, this potential source of irritation will be no problem.

Barbara and I have got the Margarita and Mai Tai machine cranked up so be ready for a good time!

See you tonight.

Pat and Barbara

ps. If anyone wants to use our tanning bed while you are here, come early, or stay late and feel free.
