We said farewell to George and Deb this morning. It was sad to see them go we had a wonderful time sailing with them. We will miss them! Five days for four people and a small dog on a boat as small as Light Reach is no mean feat. We did great and they were a fabulous crew. As they say many hands make light work and it was a splendid sail. Scott took George and then Deb to shore this time impeded by the amount of stuff that needed to be brought ashore and yes they did pack light, the dingy is that small. We set about getting things settled for a few months harbornating . The quarter berth was once again turned into a garage storing the life raft, extra linens , musical instruments and laundry. I cleaned the galley, head and swept the floors. The decks will have to wait for mother nature to provide some fresh rain water as we have to haul the water to the boat in 5 gallon containers then transfer it to the water tank. We have a water maker on board but with over 300 boats in the harbor the water is not clean enough to run it. Scott took India into shore for a nice long walk, chatted up just about everyone he met I am sure and checked out the marina happenings. The big talk was of the Cuban refugees who had landed a boat on Sombrero Beach the day we had arrived who had still not been apprehended. We mostly putzed around just getting cleaned up and settled. The winds picked up considerably during the day. We had two boats drag anchor, thankfully not into anyone. The big Nordhaven trawler could not set a hook and was finally somehow directed to a mooring ball. A sailboat behind us ended up grounded with the tide going out. They set a second anchor to keep themselves upright to wait for the tide to rise. High tide was going to be shortly after midnight so it was a long evening for them. We stayed on board watching the anchor alarm, had dinner, read for a while and then it was lights out. The picture is of George chilling out on the way here.
