July 15- We caught the first locking at 9:00 am the next morning and met up with Sid on the bottom side and headed for Kingston. It is again quite warm but the wind is really up today. We arrived at the Kingston marina about 3:00 pm and there seemed to be a mix up with our reservations which is not unusual for this particular marina. We finally got our slip assignment and had a devil of a time getting Manana into it. We were finally tied after 20 minutes but our back end stuck out past the dock and the wind was catching it. We did manage to stay on the dock but I really don't know how as the wind was blowing about 25 mph. We were very upset by a few things so we aired them out with the staff of the marina and before we knew it the manager who is not on sight came to see us. We told him of our concerns and gave him our opinions on some changes they need to make to make things work a little smoother here. It happened to be Sid's birthday so we took him out for dinner that night.
