Islamorade, Plantation Key FL
We had rain over night and brisk wind but were comfortable and dry. The rain continued until after noon. We were called by the marina at 1 and told the slip we were promised was available We got the last slip they had. It was a tight slip in a narrow alley way. We did alright until the big wide array of solar panels bumped on the big post at the far end of the slip. Lee left the helm to fend off the panel from the post just when I needed him to go into reverse so he didn't hit the dock. Talk about a scary moment. Luckily a couple of dock people grabbed our line and averted disaster. Well crisis over and we have water and electricity, which means microwave works and heat without the propane heater and all the water we want. Tomorrow or next day will do laundry and go to the grocery store.
Mark and Judy are now planning to go to Ft Lauderdale or somewhere else next Tues thru Thurs or Fri so we no longer are in a rush to go to Coconut Beach by Tues evening since they won't be there. We will be there by Friday of next week probably. We are reworking our plans. Weather and schedules are not playing nice together.
We hit it lucky by pure chance. The area is having a nautical yard sale on the grounds of this marina Sat and Sunday. It is supposed to be pretty big. Hope we don't need to buy anything but looking can't hurt. May find a real treasure we didn't even know we needed.
