Staying in a marina has its pros and cons, but since we so seldom stay in marinas when we do we have a tendency to focus more on the pros than the cons. It’s nice to have access to dock water for cleaning and showering and it’s even nicer to be able to just step off the boat when you need to go somewhere rather than having to dinghy to shore or get a ride.
The marina was small, and Exodus took up an entire slip. Since we were there well in advance of the cruising season rush, it was sparsely populated and rather quiet. There were two other sailboats there with liveaboard cruisers and two pretty much abandoned vessels.
