What, A Day Off?



There was the danger of a strike, so we decided to take the day off from cleaning and fixing. We did go look for a place called "Mother Ocean" which takes things on consignment. I think we're going to take our "Port a boat" dinghy there along with several other items that we have and see if we can get someone to buy them. After that we had lunch with, Bill Ware, the guy that was the broker for the boat when we bought it. He's been really helpful with fixing things and answering lots of questions. He's made money on the deal, but I appreciate all the advice that he has provided. He's going to stop by the boat yard tomorrow and look at a few things on the boat and also show me some anchorages and other spots on the charts that are worth exploring.


After lunch with Bill, we looked at a couple of marinas that might have dock space for storing the boat while we're back in ND for December and January. As you can see, we're not in Kansas anymore, Todo. The one marina "Gilbert's Resort" looked like Sturgis South, NOT. Eat your heart out Ron Yeager. There had to be at least 100 bikers at the resort. Lots of boats around, but if you were in their marina, you'd have to be ready for week-end parties and bands. Hay, that doesn't sound so bad, maybe we'll have look closer. Time to check out the football on Sunday afternoon.
