Last night we hosted a pizza party. Folks from Persistence and Indara joined us. The way a pizza party works is for host boat to set out lots of pizza toppings and make the dough. Friends bring over other toppings, salad, etc. Roy manages the BBQ and I (Marlene) make the dough and roll them out, one at a time. Roy "bakes" side one of the pizza and then one couple turns it over and puts toppings on the cooked side. When they finish their masterpiece, it goes back on the BBQ to cook the toppings. We had three pizzas prepared in this manner. We learned about this method from Bruce and Alene on Migration during our Jellybean days. In fact, the folks on Persistence were on the 04 HaHa with us, and as it turns out, DRUM ROLL: SMALL WORLD TIME: the recipe we use was given to us in hard copy by Bruce and Alene. The note on it says it was given to them by Maureen and Riley on s/v Alouette de Mer several years ago when they were cruising Mexico. Turns out that the folks on Indara were in Mexico several years ago and know them!
Tonight we are at Ste. Domingo again, planning to spend tomorrow here putting finishing touches on the dinghy chaps we've been working on. We need to beach the dinghy long enough to measure the seam for the bungie cord that cinches it tightly around the outside. Once that's done, cord sewn inside, we'll have only a few connections to do on the inside and, voila -- a new dinghy chaps -- the main reason we bought the semi-industrial sewing machine while we were in Panama two and a half years ago!
