Moving to a dock today - Panchos

At 'slack tide' we will move Prodigal over to Pancho's dock.  It's something of an industrial dock but they have space for us and it's a better spot to be for the Christmas week than anchored out in the busy bay.  Plus to leave the boat and go retrieve cars we dont want to leave it unattended at anchor.


Today we will stay on board and do a rew chores.  Yesterday we took the dingy to shore for Laundry and Groceries.  (I'm still tired.)

Merry Christmas,   Skip


Update - we made it to the marina and tied up without event.  (a new record for us)  Lynne was out on the bow and threw the line to Dale (the marina guy) who tied us up without a scare or a scratch.  I'm so very proud of us!  Our goal is to finally relax and get some boat chores done.  Lynne has a priority of updating her passport and i have boat insurance to renew.  It's a paperwork day in our future...  i also want to use the marina water and wash off all our salt water build up from sailing  I'm so thrilled to finally be sleeping without my head being tossed about and the rigging clanging all night.  

I wrote that this marina is 'industrial'.  i think this is where the Lobster pots are offloaded.  i expect boats to arrive - on the other side of the marina - and trucks to come and go till late at night.  But, like i mentioned, that noise is very minimal to what Mother Nature has been doing out at anchor!

So, if i gotta buy Lobster Wholesale here at my dock and never leave....  well the good with the bad?
