We left Serenity island mid afternoon and made our way toward Melbourne Bridge. There are a lot of anchorages around bridges as they provide protection due to their pilings and structure. There is usually deep (enough) water around them too, and you can choose a side depending on the which way the wind is coming from so you are on the ‘lee side’- the sheltered side of something; the side away from the wind. Once we found a spot away from other boats, we dropped anchor and proceeded to make sure all was secure. As we were doing this I sent a text to Aunt Janet/ Uncle Mark and Addie to let them know we were ‘in town’ and would proceed to the marina tomorrow. Everyone was excited and I told Addie where we were and offered to pick her up in the dinghy if she wanted to come hang out. She agreed and we made a time to meet.
I took Frank for a walk while waiting for Addie. We waited for a bit then I brought him back to the boat. As I was approaching Lauren told me Addie had called and was looking for me. I called her back and we finally found each other. Addie came with supplies too: Wine and a bag of food to make dinner! We made our way back to the boat and caught up with each other. Eventually we all were hungry so Addie whipped up an amazing dinner of taco boats with cauliflower as the ‘meat’. Taco boats for dinner on a boat- clever! I made her watch the movie Captain Ron, then eventually it was time to say good night and get her back to shore. Frank came with us so he could have another shore break and we said good night. Tomorrow we will be moving the boat to Telemar Bay Marina where we have a reservation for the week…
