It’s a full-moon weekend, which means another get together with our sailing friends. We have taken to doing “slip-ups” lately, instead of raft-ups, because it’s getting a bit unwieldy to raft-up bunches of boats together in the shrinking coves. So we party on the dock instead of at anchor. This is the Harvest Moon full-moon weekend, and to celebrate we wanted to do something big. So, Ramon graciously offered to roast a pig. So… how do you do that on a dock at a marina? Well, you use one of these things in the picture above – a caja china. Robert and Ramon set up on the middle of the newly-extended F, A & B Dock. The pig is inside the box on a rack, and the coals are above on a tray.
It turned out delicious. We had a TON of people, as Texas Sailing brought many of their boat owners over from Lakeway Marina who stayed in guest slips overnight. Tasha would know for sure, but we think there were about 50 people or more there.
A good time was had by all. iPod wars on Cupholder wrapped up about 3 or 4 AM. And, oh by the way, Mike, Wally, Robert and David stayed up all night playing dominoes and generally making a racket all through the night on Allegro in her neighboring slip. Crazy kids!
