Now it is just Paul and I, but Paul's flight is this evening, and would still like to get Sherpa in the Marina in order to get her provisioned and take care of a few boat projects at a dock. As luck would have it, the marina could accommodate us right now. So off we head back to the boat to get the anchor up and motor in. The marina is full of mega yachts, there is even one w/ a helicopter on it, it is rumored to be some high up person at Google, maybe Sergie himself. They run a real first class operation, a skiff meets us w/ a diver, which we wouldn't need more for the mega yachts. We follow them into the "tight" channel and get Sherpa side tied to the dock right in front of Casa Bianca--Perfect.

Paul has the late evening flight as well, but luckily we can just walk over to the restaurant instead of the wet ride Pete had. We enjoy a nice dinner there, food is delicious--pizza again! We toast a successful trip and now it is just me, waiting for my new crew to arrive, my 10 year-old son, Jonathan.

People hear about horror stories between skippers and crew, but not this group. We had a wonderful trip in which I think everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I give a big thanks to both Pete and Paul for making the first part of my cruise very special memorable, and look forward to meeting my crew and new friends both again soon!
