Up at 7 A.M. for coffee, nectarine, fresh cherries (bought at the farmer's market) and banana bread. We walked 3.32 miles on the Waterfront Walkway Loop. We headed back to the boat and we did some boat cleaning. I did laundry. We took a walk up to the Post Office. On our way back there was a gentleman admiring the side curtains that Mike made for our boat. We got talking to the gentleman and he and his wife are thinking about looping starting next year. He invited us to look at their boat (Mike had been admiring this boat since we arrived).  The name of the boat is "Osimo". The boat is a steel custom conversion. Mike and I both agreed that it is a beautiful boat. We talked to the husband and wife for a bit about the Loop. Mike and I headed back to our boat for happy hour. Beautiful day 87 degrees with a south breeze. We had a visit from a former colleague of Mike's Charla, her husband Scott and friend Deb who came to see us and check out the boat. We had sandwiches and corn on the cob (bought at the farmer's market). Live music this evening in the park near the marina, Young Guns from California. They were awesome they played all types of music it was a great time. 
Cool walking Loop!
