WE HAVE POWER !

We have power to the docks again! Yes, the river finally went down enough to turn the power back on to the docks. So yesterday afternoon was most quiet outside. The sound you did not hear was generators running to top off batteries. What you did hear was the sweet sound of water pushed through cooling water pumps to run air conditioners.

It was quite festive at the Pot Luck last night. People even showed up late to Happy Hour. Just couldn't tear ourselves away from that lovely Magic Box that makes our boats cool and dry. So toast all around to the power and to Marco who put up with our bitching and complaining.

We had started a pool on when the power would be turned back on. Seems no-one thought that it would happen as soon as it did. So no-one won the pool. A vote was taken and we decided to put the money aside for the Christmas fund here at the marina. So for the first time in four seasons we have a head start on raising money for our annual charities here on the Rio Dulce.
