Up at 5:30 or so, VERY rolly anchorage, underway by 7 am. In a slip and water maker running by 11:35. We started down the wrong fairway in the marina and I backed a couple of blocks (longest ever in this boat!).
We have reserved 2 nights, but I want to get out of here tomorrow. Between now and then, some stuff has to get done. Fill the water tank, change oil on the engine, clean strainers, swap out the chart plotter at the nav station that has stopped working, and some other odds and ends.
New chart plotter installed (bad screen!) it will have to go back. Water maker run 165 gallons topped off. Oil change delayed while waiting for oil at the market. The guy went to Loretto to get it, OOPS! No 15W40 oil. I asked on the dock and the first guy walking by had it! What didn’t happen was getting fuel, so we will get it at Santa Rosalia. Some notes:
$2.55 (USD) per foot slip fee’s (we paid for two nights, changed our plans and tried to get our money back for one night, NOPE), highest we have seen anywhere. High prices in the market high fuel prices etc. Oh and yeah there is a price hike coming. But, the marina is full, which explains why they can raise the rates.
