Early
in the morning around 4:30AM I hear some loud talking on the dock.
Not enough to wake anyone in
a
sound
sleep. After we get up we find out that a couple boats further out on
the dock were robbed. They come off the water, probably swimming,
looking for cash mainly. They were on “Carrie May” and stole a
paddle board on the deck and
went
through Maria's backpack in the cockpit. Bob wakes up and surprises
his unwanted guest, Bob
has a gun and his guest disappears. The security at the marina could
care less and doesn't do anything. Bob is friends with a retired
Nassau Police commissioner and calls him which gets some action. The
police come but are initially more upset that Bob has a hand gun
(declared and registered upon entry) Bob holds it by the finger guard
so they will not feel threatened. Boats are robbed almost weekly at
this marina. Anyways they do finger print some of the objects the
thief touched. Apparently they do have a suspect, but have not been
able to nail him, yet.
In the afternoon our boat is towed over to
Browns and Albert's guys come over and drop the keel. Tomorrow
hopefully it will be straighten
and reinstalled. I
am working on
getting
a new rudder fabricated in Florida which we will eventual get
installed. Tonight
we have another very calm night sleeping on the boat in the travel
lift slings.
