Waiting for the tide


Its hot again, blue sky, little wind and not enough water for us to get out of the harbour. So we wait, when we came in the depth gauge was at 4 feet, only just enough for us to float, as the tide went out further our keel nestles into the muddy sand. Right now the tide is rising and the gauge says 3.3 and wait for 4, maybe another hour.
 Just about everything here is owned by Rosie, the marina, shop, bar , and liquor store. Rosie is rotund male of 60 with a pleasant manor. We had to go look for him this morning to pay our dues, money was exchanged on the pontoon , no receipts just a hand shake and good wishes for our voyage home.
 Photo taken the evening before at the harbour as the sun goes down spot lizzie returning with bag of fish having done deal with fishermen.
 The gauge now reads 3.4 feet, at least another hour before we can leave for the States.

  1. Well, they might have Turtle's slip rebuilt by the time you get here, but I wouldn't count on it.
    Bon Voyage
