Subject: Back on track! W10! (3 of 3)
OK so there is only one 60 foot mooring left! I
asked how many of the 45s were available, with that he replied - it doesn't matter
since we could not use it anyway! GREAT! Do we want to really stay here? YES! When
we looked at the prices, we found that the cost of staying for 2 weeks was only
$10. less then the cost of a month!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder this place was almost full. So Captain Steve said we will take it. He figured that better safe than sorry with only one ball left. So we paid for the month, even though we would not be using the mooring for a few days. The HB hesitated and said that this is really unorthodox. He said again that people
make arrangements via VHF radios from their boats. So I said ‘No Problem’ I pulled the hand held
VHF (that I always carry when using the
dinghy) out of my knapsack, proceeded to
turn it on, and said 'I’ll be right back!
I’ll call you from the boat!' Meaning the dinghy, but the HB didn't have to know that! At
that the HB laughed, shaking his head and said all right all right – it’s yours! This is a first for me! As
though Captain Steve and I do stuff like this all the time. Little did he know that we are new at this ‘live
aboard’ stuff and are sailing by the seat of our pants, learning as we go! But having a great time! We
completed the paperwork, got the ID tags for the dinghy, bikes and most
importantly our mooring ball number W10!
Sea u later!
Let’s go!
