Finally, the post office was open and we were told in a very abrupt manner that the address on our mail was insufficient and that it was returned. Now mind you, there is only one marina and one post office on this base, about a quarter of a mile apart on the same road but instead of placing it into the correct box, the post mistress elected to return the package because it didn’t have the post office box number on the parcel. Technically she was correct. But there are only about 6 active post boxes on base, how much effort would it have taken for her to simply put it into the right box? So much for “rain, snow, sleet or hail.” I found the situation so ridiculous that I didn’t even bother to take issue with it.

Instead, we went back to the boat where Dale contacted our mail service and told them the package was on its way back and to add the post office box number on it. I kept busy by polishing the stainless on port side.
