Oakland Yacht Club Buffett Party

I forgot to blog about what we did LAST weekend.  I mentioned we were trying to find someplace to go-I checked the Oakland Yacht Club website and discovered they were having a Jimmy Buffett party with live audio from his concert in Mountain View.  We were able to get a slip assignment for Saturday night so we cruised on over there. 

Some very nice people with a Krogen helped us into the slip.  We saw them at the party that night and found out the original owner of the Krogen was someone we knew from Coyote Point.  Small world.  The party started at 5:30 with everyone gathered around the TV to watch the Giants play the Phillies.  The party price of $15 included a cheeseburger and fries and two drinks.  We enjoyed some DELICIOUS margaritas as we watched the Giants win! The game ended just in time for the concert.  The audio quality was great and for $15 versus $150 it was not a bad way to listen to the concert!  Most of the folks were dressed for the occasion and luckily Matt and I had brought Jimmy Buffett concert tee shirts from the 2008 "Year of Still Here" tour so we fit in.  We did not make it to the end but instead went back to the boat and went to sleep! 

In the morning we debated going back up to the club for breakfast and we ended up making banana nut muffins on the boat then heading back to CP.  It was raining a bit but we found driving from the lower helm was no problem.  Once we got back we went up to the club to watch the 49ers beat the Raiders (YEA!) though the Giants lost :(.  We decided to stay on the boat again.  It was slim pickin's for clothes to wear to work on Monday but after such a great weekend we didn't really care.
