When we made it to Picton, the next challenge was where to dock. We tried the Prince Edward Yacht Club, but they only had mooring balls available. With no dinghy, that wouldn't work. We headed over to the park marina and tied up to the wall, only to be told we couldn't stay, because a cruise ship was coming in for the night. The Tip of the Bay marina had no docks - maybe because of high water last year. We called the Harbour Inn, as they have some docks, and after trying to confirm the location of the dock we were assigned, we tied up and were getting the boat snugged down, only to be told that we had stopped at a private dock, not the Harbour Inn docks. One more try - we docked, checked in, and were just having a drink when someone knocked on the hull.
Harry and Mandy, the original owners of Prime Interest, heard the boat was in town, and dropped by for a visit. How news travels in a small town! A friend of theirs was having lunch at the Harbour Inn, heard us checking in, and called them. Harry and Mandy have moved to Picton, and recently bought a trawler which they plan to rename Simple Interest.
We had dinner at the Acoustic Grill and enjoyed the Irish fiddle sound of The Fiddleheads. After dinner, we dropped by the PEYC, looked in on Will and Bev's boathouse, and again ran into Harry and Mandy after race night. We spent the evening catching up on the last 12 years since they sold us the boat.
