Yesterday was a long-awaited sunset cruise from John’s Pass on the Calypso Boat. Pat and I had purchased our tickets months ago. We were to board the bus at the Methodist church by 4:30. Return would be about 10pm.

There were 55 of us, a very pleasant crowd.

The bus trip to the dock took a lot more time that we’d thought. It seemed we’d never get there. (We figured our driver was lost.) Finally we made it. Dinner was ok. Wine or other drinks were included in our fee.

We arrived so late that we didn’t see the sunset, but it was a pleasant time.

After dinner, Pat and I went out to an elevated deck. We were told we had to move because one of our crowd had collapsed and the ambulance was coming after him. It was the husband of the lady who was in charge. Sad to see them leave by emergency vehicle,

The trip home was much faster than our trip to the boat.

To complicate things for us, my car had failed to start the morning before our planned trip. I had to do the driving since we’d be so late returning and SCC doesn’t allow golfcarts after sunset. I finally got it started, but all kinds of alarms lit up the dash. They were still there 24 hours later, but before I left to pick up Pat, they’d all disappeared and the car ran beautifully. It started right up when we got back to the church.

I made it safely home.
