The only reason we chose this marina was that they had a huge boat service department next door. I had talked to them on the phone and discussed a propane issue we were having on our newly installed system that we used to feed the BBQ. It didn’t seem like a big idea and they told me to come on in. We did just that but we were disappointed to find out that they couldn’t get anybody to do the work for a few days. We did have a solenoid part delivered there overnight but we didn’t feel like waiting around for a few days.

Here’s a tip for our good friends Bob and Kemba on Spirit Dancer. You have a potential customer here. For the rest of you, Bob and Kemba offer a training course for Marina companies and their employees. They train on actions such as radio protocol, communication, and assisting boaters in docking maneuvers. All three of these topics could have easily been addressed here with a little fore thought and maybe a little practice. When the dock hand tells you that knots and tying a boat up are not his strong suits you know you are on your own and he is more of a hindrance than a help. The people are very nice otherwise and this is not an exception as we see it over and over.
Next stop Pensacola FL. Yes I said FLORIDA!
