Been out and about 4 weeks today...
9:30 A.M.- left the hotel and took a cab back to the marina....
9:45 A.m.- a tree was down near the path back to the walkway at the marina..lots of limbs down...think power was on all the time...got to the Gypsy Wind...looked ok to us...Ken took duct tape off and went in....looked great...no leaks that we could tell and nothing was wet or all mess us...some things slid around a little, but not bad...put the sails and canvas back on....put things away and Ken pumped out dinghy...must have had 4" to 6" of water in it...
3:00 PM walked to Dockside to eat lunch/dinner...had portabella mushroom w/crabcake and a sauce with caesar salad on the side...very yummy! Ken had 3 sliders with fruit..bbq,fried oyster, crab cake...his was yummy as well...these ladies at the table next to us ordered 2 doz crabs.steamed...they brought them out and dumped them on the table covered with brown paper...I asked if they could show me how it's done and they did....even offered me one....I declined as I want to do it tomorrow maybe and no need to get all messy for 1 little crab....haha! these gals were wonderful..
so this must have been 1/2 mi each way to the Dockside...so on the way back -instead of eating a delicious dessert there, we opted for ice cream...I got a smoothie, stawberry,raspberry and blueberry...a little healthier than oreo crunched up ice cream thang! Ken got..... we sat outside on a bench and ate. I did not finish mine..Ken just put it in the freezer....
After returning to the boat we loaded up the laundry and went to take care of it...only all washers were busy, so walked over to the lounge and watched the news for a few minutes and went and checked...one washer was free...so I started a load and had to wait for the lady to get her stuff out of the other 2 washers....and of course had to wait to dry them...no worries...just glad I have my own washer and dryer at home....and don't have to go thru this every week like in the good ole days.
Now back on the boat and doing little things..
Met Susie Marshall in the Laundry Room earlier today...I was cking it out for the number of quarters I would need...super nice...from Texas...She and her husband are like Ken and I...travelling around by boat from place to place....they have been out and about for 6 months....gave me ideas on Annapolis...getting a mooring...lots cheaper than a dock...so I called and am good to go for tomorrow...we hope to get there early afternoon...I hope Susie and I stay in touch...she is full of neat information and easy to talk to....they are on a 36 ft. trawler...beautiful boat...The Pearl...they will be heading up to our neck of the woods next summer I believe...hope we can hook up then...It is funny...we were both in Philadelphia at the same time and never ran into each other...
all in all a very nice day....
9:00 PM- I have a few pictures to upload and read a little then -lights out time...
Hope all weathered the storm...it sure got nasty in upstate New york and Vermont and New Jersey...lot of the places we visited....Catskill for one...oh my gosh...
Hope everyone out there is ok...my prayers now go out to you all!!!!
