"Blue Marlin" finally inside the wall

The coffee´s just steeping, the cake sliced in Babette´s cockpit when "Blue Marlin"s Rune rings Idun on the portable VHS radio. Apparently the harbour police will fine him if he remains anchored inside the pier. Which is where they took the boat after having to leave the diesel quay. Where now?
Back to the diesel quay and talk to the Marina after siesta, at 4pm. At the Marina office the message from Isabel is clear: No berths here; go elsewhere." But what about well-berthed "Lille Blå"s 14 year old girl and "Blue Marlin"s 16 year old boy?

After careful re-negotiating "Blue Marlin" is allowed to tie up at the closed fuel-berth tonight. "Tomorrow, we see. No promises!" But, just as "Blue Marlin" is about to slip their ropes, wonder of wonders, it is, after all, possible to raft out alongside another boat, as number three from the pier. All's well that ends well.

"Blue Marlin" is inside.
