Today i moved from point A to point B.
I 'want' to be in C, the mooring field. (where i was scheduled to go, was around the island, about 14ml away at D.) A mooring ball is $350. The marina is $1,300 per month. *the other marina was $1,500 per month.
It's quiet and I'm tied up to the dock - safe.
I said, "I moved" but the truth is, the entire village moved. (it takes a village to raise a child.) On board Prodigal were Jeff and Kris from s/v Papy Jovial, and my old neighbor Stephen off his boat down the dock. My other neighbors from the other side, John and Sandra helped by untying lines and helping cast off. (John told me, "he was glad to see me go, that it improved the property values.") Plus Warren and Joan came over and helped the departure by untying lines. Upon arrival at the new marina I was surprised to see; Terry, Peter, and Jaymo standing by to catch lines and help us secure Prodigal. My new neighbor Pierre and his wife Reneh were up on deck to fend off in case I tried to crash into them. (no touching) and last but not least my new neighbors on the other side Dave and Janelle came out to assist. *Plus there were five other people who stopped to help and offer advice, but I never knew their names, as they left when i didnt crash... So, thanks to the entire village! **Another note: when leaving the Skipjack Marina, Jeff got his dinghy and used it like a tug boat to pull Prodigal sideways out from the very tight dock and against the blowing wind to help us depart.
THANKS TO EVERYONE!
So, i moved her, but had 20ppl helping...
