Well, we've moved! O.K. it was only 300 metres, but at least we moved!!!!! haha. We decided that the moorings might not be heavy enough (500 lbs.) and it's giving gusts to 35 knots overnight, so we decided to move over to a marina (Payne's) and a more secure location. Don't want to be dragging at midnight...Well, apparently we're not the only ones - three others moved over here too (Pete included). Actually, Pete made the first move.
So now, we're plugged into power and the showers will be on at 4:00 p.m., so all is good! Plus because we're tied to a dock, we can get ashore! Went for a walk to the market and ate lunch there - home-made sandwiches and pizza by the slice. It's only about a 15 minute walk from here. There's also a good restaurant just up the hill.
From what we can gather from locals as well as the internet, there's no break in wind and seas until late Sunday night. So depending on how much the seas subside, maybe Monday we can leave - at the earliest. Oh well, at least we're safe! I've got tons of books to read (thanks to Michelle) and also jigsaw puzzles - oh yeah, since we're plugged in, we can watch a movie on our laptop! Hey, that sounds like fun! That's what we'll do tonight. I know what you're thinking...how boring! But it's really not. We're meeting all kinds of people in the same boat (no pun intended) as we are and everyone is still smiling. It's still an adventure.

Am missing the old neighborhood! Dan and Lyn brought us safely back to reality but wasn't it fun. Hope you made it to your next port and are enjoying new surroundings. You were great neighbors. I'l follow your progress and hope to see you in Bristol on your way home or wherever one of these days.
