After breakfast and showers - today was pretty much a workday. Wayne hooked up the grill, worked on the radio and replaced the running lights. I dug into the food stores and took a count and repacked the food stores.

Then at 3pm when we were getting ready to meet Beth and Jim (Madcap) a little older boat had decided to anchor right next to us. I told him I didn’t think anchoring was allowed in the mooring field and he told us that if it looked like he was going to swing into us, he’d let out more scope??? Oookay… I tried calling the marina but nobody answered. I left a message on the voice and we dinghied over to let them know. The guy at the fuel dock said he was the only one there and didn’t know if he could do anything about it. Okay. Another boater asked if the boat was between the islands or on the mooring field side. I wasn’t sure but on returning to the boat later, I noted that he was on this side in the mooring field. Hopefully the guy won’t swing into us.

We continued on to the Dockside Grill for happy hour. Hope Jim has a hollow leg! LOL. They’re meeting friends afterwards for dinner but with the cost for the “happy apps” (appetizers) it’s hard not to order appetizers! It was delightful to sit and chat with them and see where they’re headed and what problems, if any they’ve had with their Bayfield. Their B-36 is a 1988 and ours is a 1987.
