Thanksgiving dessert is at the ready baked by the Newtons on their boat. 
The turkey is in "Reflection's" oven.
The table is set for dinner.
Thanksgiving morning dawned bright and sunny, but the temperatures were in the 40s and the wind was still blowing strongly out of the north. However, the crews of both boats had planned an elaborate Thanksgiving feast for 3 p.m. aboard "Reflection" when the temperature would be around 70 with lighter winds, so cooking preparations had begun early with a background of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on T.V.
The table was set on our back deck and a wonderful dinner it was! We prepared the Roast Turkey with Sausage Stuffing and Gravy, Baked Sweet Potatoes, and Dinner Rolls, and "Freedom" brought the Jellied Cranberry Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, String Bean Casserole, and home-made Apple Pie. Knowing the precision of both captains, everything was timed to a "T", and after our blessing in which we thanked God for all the wonderful gifts he has bestowed on us, all the food was ready to eat exactly on time!
After our delicious meal, we toasted again with champagne and chocolates, but how we could eat any more was a mystery. Tut, the cat, even joined us for turkey bits. He had previously sent us a Thanksgiving Card mentioning that he would like white meat lightly basted with no bones and not dried out. We definitely complied with "King" Tut's request! After dividing up the left-overs, the Newtons returned to their boat, Pat did the dishes, and we retired early.
