Mojito maddness

Poor winds all day foiled our sailing group.  After hours of motoring everyone stopped, rafted up and went for a swim in the middle of the lake.  Bob had a leak on his radiator system, but after much struggling, and sweating we managed to fix it.  Back in Bear Creek Bay Diane went aground.  Now Kadizzle is going to call her Hard Bottom.  Roger pulled Hard Bottom off with his boat and all was well.  Next Doc declared mojito night.  Tired and backed from the sun everyone was too lazy to go up to the camp fire ring, so an unusual mojito party ensued. The special mojito table was set up on the path in front of the boat and Doc did his magic.  The mint was mudleled, the simple syrup was poured, and 18 sailors sat in their chairs in a line on the path drinking the heart elixir mixed by Doc. This morning the fleet is slowly heading toward Lucky Mound thirteen miles to the north. Some boats broke off and went for supplies to McKinze Bay.  Ice will be replenished and joy will follow with more cold drinks.  The wind is poor again for sailing today and it my be another joyous day for Doc and his power boat.
