Checking on "full mOOn"

Today was a good day. Our High School is presently going through its WASC accreditation self study and I'm a Focus Leader for the group charged with looking at culture and support. Really exciting stuff, don't you think? Well, I'm mostly excited because I completed my write-up of the synthesized information discussed in the Focus Group. What a great feeling to be through with that!
So, Kris and I rewarded ourselves with a drive down to Lake Camanche where we have our Capri-26 sailboat, "full mOOn". The real reason we went down to the boat was because we've had quite a bit of rain lately and it needed to be checked for leaking. It's not good to get a bunch of moisture in the boat. We headed down late this afternoon, hoping to spend a little time on the boat, followed by a visit to one of our favorite restaurants down by the lake (La Bella Rosa). All went well down at the boat. It looked just as beautiful as ever and only had some minor leaking, apparently at a stanchion on the starboard side. When we get a little better weather, we'll remove, caulk, and replace the stanchion.
After relaxing awhile on our little "cabin" away from home, we headed up the hill to La Bella Rosa, a restaurant of Italian cuisine. Everything on their menu is delicious, making it difficult to decide what to order. Both of us are watching what we eat and being very careful– except tonight. Not here! Kris ordered the Chicken fettucine with chicken breast. I ordered the Scampi Linquine, which has a sauce to die for. Stuffed to the gills, we both brought some home for lunch tomorrow.
Although we are liquidating our other sailboats, a Santana 20, and a Banshee dinghy, we are probably going to keep the Capri. We love it. We've done a lot of upgrading, and really enjoy having the kids and grandkids on board for dining and saiing.
