All tied up. We are sitting in the cockpit drinking beer while five feet away they are drinking the same beer at bar prices!
Do you think it will be too cheeky to crank up up the grill to do the steaks tonight, the breeze is blowing into the bar.

Last time going through we got lucky and arrived there at 11:50, making for a short wait for the noon opening. They don't dawdle on closing it, either.

Current wasn't awful so it wasn't hard to keep the boat on station. But then I don't recall were we were regarding the tide change.
