Well we are back at the dock. We didn't get our departure test results until this mornings (and after calling), but should be all set now for the return.
Wind finally calmed down today and we went snorkeling at the Indians several times over the last few days and really enjoyed it. We will look back at when we were the only boat there when we're circling waiting for someone to vacate their mooring.

One consequence of the reduced staffing at the base is that they no longer offer to dock your boat. Also, with so few boats out, the docks are packed with boats rafted up and the fairway between piers barely passable.

On the plus side, I've gotten more confident in maneuvering in tight quarters and docking the boat, but it does add a bit of stress to the end of the trip. I'm considering it a positive overall.
