On to Spanish

We arrived in this quaint little burg about 2PM after a quick 12 mile jaunt from Beardrop. The marina is quite nice but really off the beaten path. The GLCC had a rendezvous here a few years back and I think that might have been their moment in the sun. Word has it that the community of Spanish has be trying to sell the marina due to the financial overhead. The facilities are very nice and the associated restaurant was also nice since town is over a mile away. We stopped by the gas dock for a pumpout which turned into a real circus and took over an hour. A sailboat (27' Catalina with four aboard for two months) was also getting a pumpout and fuel. The dock attendant accidently dropped their holding tank cap in the drink so they spent about 30 minutes trying to fish it off the murky bottom with a dip net but to no avail. They eventually stuck a bung (conical dowel) in it as a temporary fix and headed out for a cramped, rainy, overnight in some anchorage.

We're looking at the weather to see where we will go next so stay tuned.
