Rick & Trace arrived tonight. They will be with us for 10 days. Bud and I spent the day cleaning and moving things. Bud not only managed to get the forward cabin bed cleared off, he emptied a drawer and a cupboard. I’m amazed.

We waited outside the marina for them to come in a cab from the airport. We were afraid they wouldn’t be sure where to come because from the street you’d never know this was a marina. There is an octagonal building, and running east from that is a long, turquoise, blank wall with a double door on the end towards the building. You go through those doors and you are in a short passageway. Straight ahead and down a flight of steps is the swimming pool and past that is the marina.

We are so happy to have them here! We sat around and talked all evening. Bud just went to bed and it’s 11:30! This is a new record for him. I’m writing a short blog and posting the picture. I don’t think I’ll have Internet for several days, so the blog entries will all be posted via SSB and will have no photos.
