Well, we finally got on the fuel dock around 6:30 or so. We hung out for awhile, and then had some (much needed) cocktails at the tiki bar. As we were walking up to dinner, we saw the dockmaster again, who told us that a sailboat would be rafted up next to us. This marina is crazy. They have managed to squeeze a boat into every possible location. And it is the most expensive place we have stayed so far. Bill managed to "negotiate" so our stay on the fuel dock is free.
This morning we got up early because we were told we would have to vacate in order to make room for the ferry. It is 10:30 and we are still waiting to find out where they are going to move us to. There was a mass exodous this morning of big powerboats, so we should be fine. We are filling the water tanks, etc. now. Before last night, we had been on a mooring for 20 days. We did a good job of managing our power (especially since the generator is still not working) and water (we have made water off and on for the past couple of weeks). But it was really, really nice to have AC last night, to blowdry my hair, to take really hot showers, to turn on all the lights and not care!!!

Today, after we get our new slip assignment, we are going to explore a little. It is a nice day!
