I'd been waiting all day for the gentleman who now stood dockside in the pouring rain toting a U.S. Census Bureau bag over one shoulder. The kindly looking man told me, as he peeked out from under the hood of his raincoat, that he was here to count us for the 2010 census.
Now I'm not entirely sure why, but this pleased me very much. We like to think of this as our floating home, and having someone come down--in the rain--and knock on every hull in the marina to count the liveaboards validated that a little bit.
We welcomed him aboard and had a nice chat while he asked us questions and filled in the forms. He was quick to tell us just how friendly all the liveaboards he'd met here were. He seemed genuinely surprised! I guess he hasn't spent much time in marinas. :)
