The waitress was totally awesome, I feel bad that we didn't get her name. I mentioned that it was Adam's birthday and she hooked him up with free dessert and a Dead Guy Ale t-shirt. Rock on!

How dare he. Adam snaps this "precious" pic of me, early morning helming after a night passage. Note the frizzy hair and sail cover employed as a blanket. But I'm still smiling because I didn't get sick on this passage. Woot!
