Boy, was that a whirlwind deal; up to Carlisle, back to Greenville, SC, back to Carlisle, back to Charleston. I can, vaguely, remember the days when one all nighter or O' dark 30 series was no big deal. Ha; not any more! I can really appreciate the studies they are doing on the effects of fatigue. Captain Ginny held the fort (boat) in her usual superb fashion; touring the city, adjusting lines, prepping (and enjoying) gourmet meals. Now, about the varnish....... seriously, it is wonderful to back aboard Scooter. I missed the rocking, the slap of the water on the bow, the squeak of the dock lines passing around a cleat. Ain't life grand sometimes. Today we tried out our new grocery cart. Great invention for saving those fingertips. You know, the super large, really, really purple red ones you get when you carry plastic grocery bags or milk jugs that mile from Piggly-Wiggly to the boat. What a deal, huh! No more of that for us. Nosirree bob! We now have a fold-em-up cart that solves that problem. I'll slide a pic in one day soon. Suffice it to say that it resembles a a bag cart; two wheels and a long back frame leading down to a foldout shelf at the bottom. Best of all, it has large wheels to get over curbs, etc. see what I mean about the simple things in life being wondrous & exciting?
Tomorrow we're off to Wappoo Creek and points further south. weather may get wet later, and probably a bit windy, but we hope it will be doable. We'll get the posts up to speed again once Scooter starts moving. Until then, keep the faith and the warmth in the house!
