It was another early morning dinghy ride into the marina. Maureen spent the day taking care of business on the computer and posting a few entries to the blog. Gale and Joel waited around for a few hours trying to connect with Austin, the young man working at the marina, who had offered the use of his truck to go to West Marine and trade out the new dinghy. Gale didn’t like the way the paint was coming away from the floor of the dinghy we purchased at West Marine in Key West. The West Marine in Marathon had the same model and said we could simply trade for a replacement.
By 4 pm, the guys were back with the new dinghy and Maureen had already grown weary from staring at the computer screen. Joel and Gale hooked up the outboard motor, transferred the safety equipment to the new dinghy and we were ready to go again. Instead of traveling back to the boat for dinner, we decided to head for Dockside Lounge where we relaxed and enjoyed a couple of drinks with our dinner. Gale and Maureen shared the BBQ chicken special and Joel went for the Mahi Mahi – both excellent choices!
After dinner, we walked down the dock to see if Tom and his vessel, Sunshine Baby, were still in the slip. The boat was there so we knocked on the hull and Tom invited us aboard for a glass of wine. After a nice visit, we walked back to the restaurant dock where we boarded our dinghy and motored home for the night.
