Super Moon in Charleston on March 19,2011

 We threw together a Super Moon BBQ and invited a few neighbors over to celebrate the Super Moon. Most of us boaters pay attention to the moon cycle to watch for the flux in the tides. It has been a cool to watch us go up and down on the floating dock and measure ourselves to the fix pier. We saw crazy tides during the February full moon and knew it was going to be exciting during the Super Moon. The day was warm sunny. It was a wonderful way to say good-bye to the last day of winter. Andrew, the captain and cook of Inconceivable, fixed 3 racks of ribs, hamburgers, corn pudding, and potatoes. All in our little oven. Bob brought Cesar Salad. Lyn and Jack brought over baked beans. The Duning family brought over chips and guacamole dip. Tyler brought over his guitar and a wooden flute and a Turkish Flute. 
 Our gathering started with Andrew and Tyler fishing out a bloated opossum from the water. Not the way to start a party but it needed to be taken care of. I could not look at it long enough to get a picture. After that adventure the party started. Tyler played his guitar for us and we all  played the flutes. Paisley definitely enjoyed playing the Turkish Flute. We all had a fun time hanging out and talking boating. Lynn and Jack officially completed their Loop in under 12 months. We welcomed them into the marina when we noticed their Burgee and we were delighted to find out that they had just crossed their wake. Jack and Bob are both from New Jersey so we talked about where to stay in New York City. All of us got our cameras ready and headed out to various spots to get a picture of the moon. The kids were off playing with Chief, Tyler's Pit Bull. We were waiting for the moon to come out and the clouds started to appear. We patiently waited and saw a red moon begin to shine through the clouds.It was a beautiful site to see. Several hours later when the clouds disappeared the moon had a beautiful glow. We ended the night with Cole and Cooper spending the night. The kids had fun building Lego and playing a Backugan  card game.  The NCAA games were on and we rooted on the Spiders and Rams. I am excited that they both made it into the sweet 16!
