If you have to be in a Marina

Friday Jan 6 2012
Well we have been here for a week. Wow....if you wanted to design a place where cruisers can feel wanted and have fun in paradise....this is it. Mike and Lilu, who were cruisers have made it fun again. I was getting a little depressed over at Fantasy Island....no cruisers, just the staff at the dive shop. We were the 1st boat in Brooksy Point Marina and for sure will not be the last. The word is our on the SSB nets that this is the place to go. He charges $15 bucks a week for cruisers out on the hook..for that they get a dump for their garbage, washer and dryer ($5)free bus to the market on Sat, 4-8 happy hr with $1 beers, clean hot showers,free trip into Coxen Hole, free movies, Saturday Potlucks,free wifi, free coffee in the AM, Pizza night every Thursday. I needed to go to the Clinic on the other end of the island.....Mike drove us....would have been a 20 dollar cab ride..... ...last night Jim, out on the hook came in for pizza in extreme back pain, they called and made an appointment for today and took him over this AM. Of course there are those who are trying to take advantage of all this. One group would have 1 pay the 15 bucks, then pass the password around to the rest of the group so the could steal WIFI signal, use the garbage, sneak in and the the washer, not pay their bar tab before the left.....so I have appointed myself as chief pecker-head in charge of making sure these sorry excuses of cruisers are run off.Which means most of the French and a few other lowlifes have left or decided to stay away.
And today, I had my 1st bite on the boat. We will sea where that will go.
Joyce has found a dive buddy, so she is now happy. So all is well for now.....
