Potluck

We're in Kwatzi Bay tonight. It's a small marina owned and operated by Max and Anca.  The marina has room for a dozen or so boats of moderate size and offers filtered water and Wi-Fi, but no electricity or showers. Our book promised us showers, but according to Max, heavy wind destroyed the shack built for the purpose. 

We decided to tie up rather than anchor because the anchoring was reported to be marginal and we thought full water tanks would be nice. Wi-Fi and showers sweetened the idea in our minds as well, even if the latter didn't pan out. 

There was one additional unexpected fringe benefit in that they do potluck dinners on the dock during the summer. It was nice to get to know the other boaters. Most had power boats, but there were a couple of other sailboats. I made the macaroni-sausage dish we had planned on eating. It was actually very popular and pretty easy to make, so that's a recipe I think I'll do again. 

After dinner I rowed the dinghy to the head of the bay where the anchorage is located and found a half dozen boats stern tied to shore in a circle around the perimeter of the bay. 


Tomorrow is a short mileage day; we enter the Broughtons and head for Wadington Bay.
