We have moved!!!

Well after a couple of months of dealing with almost missing the ferry, missing the ferry, ferry prices, additional expenses, and general island life...we have moved!!!! :)
Our new slip is at the Flounder Bay Yacht Club in Anacortes. My parents moved the boat over a couple of weeks ago and got us all settled into our new slip. This marina is so much nicer than the last marina that we were at. The people here are very friendly, the shower is only 50 cents for 5 minutes (that's a bargain in the boating world), AND we are on the mainland!!!!
The first night that we were at our new marina they had a Sailing Beer Can race. It pretty much consisted of a few sailboats TRYING to sail against a strong current. We sat on shore and watched the beginning of the races, taking bets on which boats would hit each other first. It provided a really good laugh!
Everyone is so much happier in our new slip! My dad is close to West Marine, my mom is close to her friend Megan, Nick was able to get his Nintendo 3DS Zelda game on the day it came out, and I am happy that I can see my friends more often than I originally thought (haven't missed breakfast club yet!).
