Day 235, April 4th, 2010

We had a much better start today. Right after breakfast we hauled the outboard up onto its mount on the stern rail and then the dinghy up onto the deck. Our 5 weeks in Marathon had allowed barnacles and sea weed to grow on the bottom on the dinghy - what a mess! After much scraping, scrubbing and elbow grease she looked 100% better and we put it all back together again. My clean cockpit didn't look so good afterwards and the whole decks had to get washed off too. However, we were pretty pleased with ourselves when we were done. We were later admonished by our neighbours that we had been altogether too industrious first thing on Easter morning.

To celebrate Easter Sunday, we met old and new friends on the patio at 1:00 p.m., had a quick glass of wine and then went for lunch at "Duffy's" in Old Town. A yummy turkey dinner with all the trimmings for $9.95!

Back at the marina, we said goodbye and were just getting into the dinghy when we heard our names called from the patio. It was Kathy and Darius from Breeze Hunter and Lena and Gary from Rum Runner. Back we went for another glass of wine and caught up their news since Marathon!
