Grand Harbor Marina, Day Two

Tuesday, October 21, 2014

Stats:
Nothing.  Just stayed put at Grand Harbour Marina.

We had an easy day today.  We got up early because we're so used to that schedule.  In cruiser circles it's called "boaters' midnight", which is really 8:30.  We tend to go to bed early and get up early.

So, we got up at 6:30 or so, had coffee and got busy with our chores.  The boat has been spit-shined, vacuumed, scrubbed inside and out, etc. etc.

We were going to anchor out tonight but we decided to just stay put and have a relaxing afternoon and evening at dock.  Unfortunately, the wonderful pool they have here is closed for the season.  I don't quite get that.  It was hot today and there was their beautiful pool all closed up!  So we just hung out on the dock visiting with other boaters as we were all doing our chores.

We all finished up around 3:00 and enjoyed great "docktails" with John and Karen's (from Last Mango) gas powered blender.  Seriously.  This thing is the BOMB (figuratively speaking, we hope).  It is a converted two-stroke weed eater engine converted into a blender.  It starts with a pull-cord and sounds pretty much like a chain saw.  Ingredients go in the pitcher, and voila, margaritas on the dock without the need for a plug.  Awesome.  It sure draws a crowd!

Roe wanted to learn "Canadian".  She was so happy to receive her first "toque"

We stayed up late for boaters (it's 9:30!!).  Jeff was delighted that he hooked up our little T.V. to the cable on the dock and he is now peacefully snoozing on the couch with the first game of the world series on.  Gran Vida!!
