Seeing Dragonsinger at Yatlift

I wandered the streets of Bodrum last night, which brought back lots of great memories. I was asleep by 11:00 and up early this morning ready to see Dragonsinger. There are not many people in the hotel. While the day is bright and warm, the pool is not yet open.

On the way to the Yat Lift yard where we left Dragonsinger, I stopped at the local market. The produce was so much better than what we can get in Vancouver and I bought a few things to have for lunch.

After arriving in the yard, it took an hour to find the boat, the keys, and the staff to get working on necessary projects. A special treat was seeing the group of stuffed animals that Allen left on his bunk. When I saw them, all I could think of was Allen being in the bunk with his friends.
