Al called Shearwater Marina for a reservation yesterday and was told to be there at 1100 hrs and there might be a spot for us. So, after a leisurely breakfast, we pulled the anchor and headed for Shearwater. When we contacted the marina again on VHF, we were told that there weren’t any openings in the marina, but we could tie up on the breakwater until space became available. The fresh produce is expected to come in on the barge tomorrow, and we can’t leave here without some fresh produce and dairy products, and we need to do laundry, so we tied up on the breakwater, waiting for a spot in the marina.
Fortunately, there was free WiFi, so I was able to get one day posted to my blog. The WiFi was so slow, however, that it took about twelve hours to finally get it uploaded.
At 1700 hrs, Al called Kristoff, the wharfinger again, to see if there was any space available. He said there was still nothing open. So, we spent the night on the breakwater.
