After almost 6 months of being down for "remodel" I am glad that we are back to the "island". The boat stays cleaner, galvanic corrosion is not as severe and cleaning is easier... better view of the basin all of these are making the move an exciting experience. Plus I was paying $400 more each month for some lousy electricity and water and just a convenience. The electricity is third world (blew the circuits all the time). Water around the boat was filthy beyond belief, making cleaning the bottom very hard. Marine growths was so
accelerated that it was hard to keep up with it. Good things: so much easier to remove items from the boat... accessibility to the bathrooms, no need to take a dinghy every time you have to get some materials... over all it was worth it I think. The county is trying to fix the whole dock because it really needs fixing but they have been coming to plan the work for 5 months now... still nothing. My confidence in the County is zero. They'll never do it. I'd like to get an end tie as soon as possible. When the new docks open up (when ever that'll be) there is talk that the Marina will have a lot of spots available. It is going to be nice when we have a proper dock instead of a third world make shift docking, which did come with the boat. I am going to get busy with talking to the various dock masters so we could get a new spot.
