We slept like logs last night, both of us being exhausted. The room at the Marina Inn has a balcony that looks out right over where Sea Turtles is tied up. It has a small kitchenette and living room area with bath down stairs and 2 beds and 1/2bath upstairs. The cat had a ball running up and down the stairs for the first night. He also thinks he is a coo-coo clock since he meowed every hour on the hour all night long. He could not quite decide where he wanted to sleep either. He will settle in but the first night in a strange place is an ordeal with him.
We got up and looked things over and realized that nothing was closer than 2 miles away that would have the few things we needed and forgot to pack. Our broker was kind enough to run us to a grocery store to pick up some stuff. There was a pastry shop across from the inn where we grabbed a danish for breakfast.
We did a little touch up cleaning on the boat ( as it is self dirtying.) Then went back to our room for a nap. We could see the activity on the dock from our room and the line of flags the broker put up to our mast did get a lot of people to hesitate and look but it did not seem like many people actually boarded the boat. 2 couples came back at least twice. It only takes one, so we may get lucky and sell her. The rep from Island Packet who is marketing the boat right beside us has been very helpful. He only sells new but will point people interested in gently used boats that are IPs our way.
We skipped lunch and were walking to the restaurant that is with the marina to get dinner when we saw people setting up what looked like a buffet. We inquired at the restaurant what was going on and they told us they were setting up for the vendors. That was us! We got free dinner. Good food too. It was windy but sunny, not too hot not too cold, but tomorrow seems we will have some passing rain storms.
