When the weather broke, our friends from Aria and new friends from Exuberant came over to Iolair.  All eight of us sang songs, drank whiskey and rum until late at night. We think we heard applause from the small cruise ship anchored not far away.

Boat quote: "You'll learn to ignore all the things that are broken on your boat. Most aren't important."
