Boats in the Boatyard

At the area marinas, some boats are on moorings out in the bay. Some are on anchors. Others are at slips like we are. Still others are leaving their slips to get the boat hauled for repairs and/or storage. Some get hotel rooms while their boat is on stilts, while others remain on the boat and use ladders to climb up and down. I'll try to get a photo of a ladder. Trouble with that for us is coming up and down with Luna. Can you picture that? Many people from all over the world are preparing to fly home (we spoke with an Aussie couple yesterday who leave in a couple weeks for example) for varying lengths of stay. Some for a few weeks, some for several months. People come and go constantly or are in the process of something. If you blink, you come up top only to discover the boat across from you is missing. Oh yeah, they are hauling out today over at Peak's. That boat? They're over on the hard at Power Boats. You have to keep up. Or not. The photo is of a boat from Gibraltar in our marina, on the hard.
