Roosevelt Roads

Bright and early this morning before the wind picked up, we dropped the jib and cleared the halyard that had caught yesterday. We hoisted the jib back up the roller furling, rolled it back in and headed for our rental car.

We went into town to a hardware store for some narrow PVC pipe for the back awning. Dale and I had kicked around a couple of ideas to improve our set up. We dropped by West Marine for some hardware for a broken hinge on our cooler/line locker and where I was specifically forbidden from buying any more Christmas ornaments.

When we returned to the marina, the possibility before we left, had become a strong belief that AAFES was taking over the marina; hopefully by the end of the week. However they were not taking over the bowling alley. This part was not good for those of us who need our internet connection. Until someone takes over, there is no internet, mini-mart or diesel services available. At least the power and water is still on which also means we still have laundry facilities.
