The over half way party

August 4, 2010   


So this evening we had a little party at the same time as roll call. We are over half way now and have turned to CA motoring across the high on a heading just north of the golden gate. We are slowly working our way up to 38N only another 15 miles to go. Seeing as we have enough fuel range for 715 miles there aren’t any worries about running out of fuel.


So this evening we had a little party at the
We had a tapas evening with grilled eggplant, salami, cheese, crackers, balsalmic vinegar and oil, serrano ham, pita chips, flat bread with olive tapanade. This was washed down with crystal geyser lemonade. We put the engine into idle for the hour and let it cool down as it has been going since early this morning. The evenings meal was caramalised onion with hard salami chunks, browned corn added into mac and cheese. So as you can see we went all out for the party.

We filled up the tank for our overnight motoring and everyone has put in their ETA’s for going under the golden gate bridge as we have only 1075 miles to go.
