While Tom was here for Dad's memorial we had the opportunity to get together and cook. Raviolis aboard Poseidon and Mexican food at Laura's. Always love cooking with my brother.

Dad's Memorial
September 12, 2015
Dad died unexpectedly on March 6, 2015. His wishes were to be buried at sea so we postponed his memorial until both Steve & Tom could travel to California.
The seas were a bit rough that day, but Dad would have loved that becuase he thought a calm ocean was boring!
We gathered together a nice group of family & friends to celebrate his life.

Tom & Nita, Steve & Linda, Kathy & Dennis, Helen & Paul, Laura, Jon, Don, Marie & Lisa, Greg, Bob & Cynthia, Brit & Phil, Susie & me (not pictured Dad's ex-boss Karen and her husband Mike)
Special moments of the day for me were Bobby playing Amazing Grace on his trumpet, Dad's high school friends Phil & Brit Lozano sharing their memories of Dad and my cousin Susie traveling from Mexico to be with us:
Kathy, Marie, Laura & Lisa
Cynthia, Laura, Linda, Steve & Susie
Helen & Paul
Karen, Tom & Jon
Dad loved spending time on the Poseidon, especially making trips with us to Catalina & Santa Cruz Islands. I am so lucky to have these wonderful memories:

Yellowbanks-Labor Day
September 2, 2015
It had been quite awhile since we got together with our boating friends at the islands. John reached out to a bunch of our friends suggesting a Labor Day Cruise. He got a great response from the old gang!
We left a couple of days early and decided to take a little detour to Anacapa Island to try our luck fishing for Yellowtail.

By the time we got to Yellowbanks the sun was out and we had a beautiful weekend.
On the menu the first night - Chicken Saltimboca:
So much fun - just like the good old days! We've been friends with some of these boaters for almost thirty years.
