We’re thinking of writing “The Diary of a Wimpy Sailor” after our 1^st night in the Rivera Beach Marina turned into two when seas for today were again predicted to be rough and winds higher than we wanted to attempt.  But it was very refreshing to have a day to do laundry, clean the boat inside and out, have a shower in one larger than 2ft by 2ft, fill up and pump out, walk the Pooh (Fritz) and most of all, talk through more efficient docking strategies for the windy days in our cruising future. It was also a day for relaxing.  Dennis played some games on the computer while I did some sewing on our Sailrite Sewing Machine.  Yes, even sewing’s very soothing after the wild ride yesterday.  If you need a good machine for boat canvas/projects I highly recommend this one.    

Two nights tied to the dock rather than anchoring means two nights of worry-free uninterrupted sleep, two mornings of sleeping a little later, and two rejuvenating days for two wimpy sailors.
