Pete
and Bailey walked the 2.5 miles to the airport to retrieve the car. Bailey
started out very excited to have new smells to investigate. By the time they
arrived at the airport, she was thrilled to get into the car.

Dave
stopped by, dropped off key for showers, told us that pump outs are usually
done on Thursdays, but he is also here on Mondays, if we need, and verified
that we are to check in on Monday with Roy. Pete checked the monthly rates for
Sombrero, and we will try to see if we can extend our dockage. It is slightly more than the mooring ball,
but when you factor in free parking, (instead of the $35/week at the city
marina, electricity instead of running the generator, no dinghy ride to walk
the dog, 3 washers and 3 driers for marina guests only (about and air
conditioning when needed…well, it definitely looks like a great deal!
With
all the salt that is caked over everything, we power washed, then scrubbed the
boat and polished the chrome. Boy, did it make a difference. After showering, we read for a while, then
hopped in the car and explored the island to get our bearings. Drove around to
see what is local and then went to Lazydays
Restaurant, located on the southern-most side road, for dinner and a
beautiful sunset view. Pete had a delicious yellow tail stuffed with crab with
a mild lime hollandaise sauce. I ordered the grouper with tomatoes, artichoke
hearts, capers, asparagus and melted mozzarella. (It needed the capers that accidentally
forgotten.) We topped it off with a great carrot cake. We will definitely
return for another meal in the future.

Once back, we continued reading and called it a day.
