Up early to do laundry (our moldy closet stuff) and finalize
bills with the marina. Once laundry was
done we walked downtown to eat lunch at Roger Brown’s restaurant. Since we were so close to the grocery store,
we decided to walk to it and have our transportation take us back to the boat.
(A semi-poor decision) It was about a
mile to the store, would have been a pleasant walk except it was raining. Someone (Tim) had decided to not bring the
umbrella). We had Helen from the Port
Transportation place come pick us up at the Food Lion Grocery Store because we
did not want to carry our store purchases back to the boat by foot. Once we got in the cab, I told Helen that we
needed to go to West Marine to pick up a Cruising Guide Book. It was only 8 miles away. Traffic was terrible, after 30 minutes, we
had not made it 2 miles and the meter on the cab was at $30.00. Once we got thru the traffic jam all went
well until we arrived at West Marine.
They did not have the book we needed so we bought a hundred dollars
worth of other stuff. The return to the
marina was uneventful. (Cab bill:
$50.00) After putting our stuff away, we walked about a half mile away to
another marina, which of course, had the book we needed. Then a stop at the Dollar General Store for
new hangars and we were set.
