With the Sunshine comes the foggy mornings

Blind Bay Store, Post Office, Liquor Store

Our first choice to moor for the night was Cardero Lodge (aka "The Schnitzel Place) -but it was fully booked. So we turned right in Cardero Channel and went over to Blind Channel Marina for the night. It has been over 10 years since we have been here and although it was a pleasant stay, the moorage is almost double ($1.50 foot) over every where else we have stayed and power was up to $20.00 per night. Apparently last year, costs were the same as everywhere else at .85 cents and $10.00 for power. Because the marina was full, I suspect that we subsidized their power costs for when they are not so full.

The meal in the restaurant was good and we were glad to see that most of the boaters there supported the marina with a dinner reservation. There is a semi-stocked gov't liquor store there and a well stocked food store.

The next generation of owners are now running Blind Channel with Papa being semi retired.
