Day 340 - Saturday, April 1st: We got up this morning thinking about the guests coming today.  They were Gerry and Linda Etzold from near Annapolis, MD.  They had been studying Monk 36 boats for many months as part of their search for an ideal Great Loop boat.  Of course Integrity is the ideal Great Loop boat (she is finishing the Loop).  After several emails back and forth, we had set a date for them to visit; this was the weekend.

We gave Gerry and Linda carte blanche to look around and we walked to the nearby mall to do some shopping and have lunch.  A couple hours later, we returned to the boat to find them smiling.  We decided to have happy hour aboard and go to Longhorn Steakhouse for supper.  It was all a lot of fun as we swapped boating stories and we told tales of doing the Great Loop.

We planned a boat ride on the St. Johns River for tomorrow.
