M/V Reflection sails into the Bull Creek Anchorage

Comment: Heard Tally Ho and Reflection on the radio as we made a late (1115 hours) departure from the marina. Once out on the river, we were able to make radio contact. During several radio discussions with the newly formed flock, our destination changed several times when suddenly and quite unexpectedly, our day got much shorter as we all agreed to head into Bull Creek, only 10 miles from the Skull Creek Marina. We were all eager to see each other. Tally Ho offered to host our reunion at 1630 hours. After some begging, the gathering was pushed up to 1530.

Pat and Ray stopped by SUNSHINE before heading to Tally Ho. Pat brought her quilt book along. It was spectacular. The book documents their 2007 – 2008 cruise in quilt squares. Some of the squares were contributed be their family, friends and people they met along the way, some of whom now number among Pat and Ray’s growing circle of friends. I was blown away by the book. Not only is Pat creative, she is a talented quilter. The quilt book is a significant piece of art that also serves as to document their lives and their friendships. Beautiful!

Our dinghy engine refused to start, we presume a gummed up carburetor, so Ray came by to tow us to Tally Ho. We had a great gam and shared experiences, stories and laughs. We joined Vanessa and Andrew in a vocal tribute to Alice. “Who the F*@% is Alice,” you may ask. You can Google it or watch the video below.
