Hi all,
 
Today had our crew spending quite a bit of their day motoring as the 
winds were very still and the weather hot.  They did stop tonight at 
Skipjack Cove marina on the Sassafras River. Lat 39 22' Long 75 53'.

Seems that tonight was the night that our wedding at sea actually 
occurred. To set the scene, the marriage was by the pool, signs outside 
displaying the "unlawful union of Sarah and Davey." Our couple dressed in 
their duct tape formal wear (bow tie and corsage). The entire crew made 
up the wedding party, marching into the pool area for the wedding. Skip 
gave away the bride, and they now wear their rope rings. Davey's Mom 
Melanie called ironically during the event, so she now has had the 
opportunity to talk with her new daughter in (un)law. 

Now that the ceremony is over, the new couple completed their first task 
together, which just happened to be cooking dinner. It appears that they 
were able to do this without bickering (newlyweds!!!). 
I also understood that Josh was far to willing to jump out of the cake 
for the bachelorette party. They never got to have a bachelor or 
bachelorette party, but maybe that will all be included at the 
reception, which seems to be in full swing at this moment. Now that I've 
tempted your curiosity (as is mine), this whole event supposedly has 
been captured on video. (This probably won't be one we'll show at our 
ship banquet!!!)
 
Tomorrow, depending on winds, they plan to continue south with an 
uncertain stopping point although Skip was fairly certain they will be 
mooring out tomorrow night.
