The skies were again overcast this morning, after a night of heavy rain. There was quite a lot of wave action last night with the boat traffic in the area.

We met up with Diana and Gilbert at the marina around 1030. We had an extremely busy day. First we thought we would do a subway ride to West Marine because the weather was not the greatest. Actually we each bought a 7-day subway pass to coincide with our 7-day marina stay. We did some shopping and after lunch the skies had cleared so we decided to do the tourist thing.

We arrived back at the boat around 2030, had a late supper and then moved the boat to another mooring ball as the one we were at was way too close to another one. With the currents and wind that mooring ball was sometimes under our boat! Not a good situation. Now settled for the night.
