Comment: It’s time to fill the fresh water tanks. Using our two six gallon water tanks, we made three trips to the potable water stop at the marina, transporting a total of 36 gallons.

Following the water run, we took a bike ride. The plan was to visit Cynthia at SALT to check on our Waeco portable refrigerator/freezer and then visit Eric at IBFK. As it happened, Cynthia could deliver the freezer to the marina right away, so we turned around and zipped back to the marina to meet her. We returned to the boat and spent the next half hour or so reading.

In the evening, we took a long dinghy ride to Marathon Marina where we met John and Honey aboard Hielan’ Lass. After some conversation and a magnificent sunset, we dined at Frosty’s. The dinner special was $13.95 (Tilapia) with beverage, salad and desert. Very reasonable and tasty!
