Marina Cock Up!

Friday 29th August
I was up early this morning, before anyone else, a chance to work on my journal. We plan to move the boat today…

Bob got in the water and cleaned the mess off the side of the boat that had been left by the storm. Having moved the boat around to the fuel dock in the marina, we filled the tanks and Bob went into the office to find out which slip we were booked into. It turned out, that they had forgotten we were coming in today, despite the fuss he made four days ago about them losing our reservation, and their assurances that they would find another slip for us today.

It turns out they had given our reserved slip to another yacht that had arrived two days ago… So Bob made yet more arrangements for us to bring the boat in tomorrow at 9am before he leaves. We took the boat back to the mooring for the night, and went ashore for dinner to the restaurant at the resort.

Saturday 30th August

Bob got up at 5am to drive Daniela to the airport. When he returned we moved the boat around to the marina at 9:30, surprise, surprise, they weren’t ready for us, but it didn’t take them long to find us a slip. Having got the boat situated Bob packed his bags, and I made him a quick lunch before he left for the airport.

Another surprise was in store for me from the Marina, there was no Internet, despite their advertisement saying they did, also, no laundry on site, they did however offer a service of pick up and delivery.

There is an Internet café just a 5 minute walk up the road, so I can use that, bit of a pain not having Internet on the boat, however, this will have to do.

There is a really beautiful beach here, and the marina is quiet and safe.

I’m going to relax and do some painting for the next 3 weeks…
