Very cold…saw 30 on the boat with frost on the sailcover in the morning. Put in some washing then Miles, the dockmaster, offered to drive us to the grocery story. Katja and I took him up on it and he regaled us with stories coming and going. Yesterday after a 9hour day, I didn’t know my starboard from my port and had directions from Miles how to get into the marina. I was trying to relay directions to Geoff and got it all mixed up, finally telling him to just follow us in. Miles had been following the conversation and hailed Blue Planet to give him precise directions, which was good. He was impressed with me getting into the slip, though. It was a tight squeeze with only 1 boat separating us from the bank and I gently brought the boat right in there. He was calling me Captain Ron after that…..
I asked everyone over to our boat for happy hour. The boat was spotless and I’d made hot artichoke dip. Even though it was chilly, we stayed in the cockpit, eventually bringing out blankets and even the little heater.
