The moon is full, so it’s a full-moon raftup weekend! We joined the raftup at about 6 pm in Arky South – Rory & Greg and their friend Jane (who has her own boat on c-dock) were on Sapphire, Ramon on Y No Hago Mas Na, Robert & Tony on Voodoo, Kurt & Wally on Dancer, Pat & Dave on Va Bene, and Monte & me on Cupholder. Bay & Donna arrived on Red Sky right before sunset.
I can’t take a decent full-moon picture with my camera on a boat that’s rocking. I know this photo is blurry, but I posted it so you could see how beautiful and bright the moonlight was. We had a stern line to shore, so our bows were pointed east and we had a great view as the moon rose above the horizon.
The anchorage was nice, had a good breeze all night long. Amazingly, we did not play iPod wars on this raftup. That didn’t stop us, however from staying up until the wee hours. The party started on Ramon’s boat, and moved to Rory & Greg’s.
The lake is at 643+ and dropping fast. Both Ramon & Kurt’s boats got hung up on the emerging wall at the entrance to the cove on their way in. The sheer pin on our propeller broke right as we were coming in to tie up, so we had to drop a quick anchor ourselves so that we could fix it.
A little excitement, but everyone was rafted up in time to watch the sunset, which was beautiful, as usual.
