Day 96, Thursday September 26

Day 96, Thursday September 26

Well another day at the Utica Wal Mart.  Who would have thought we would be here a week?

 Actually the day started out by 7:30 with Dawson at his Spanish lesson and Julie at her French lesson for about an hour each.  Then Dawson runs, while Julie gets her morning routine underway.  A few stretches, a run through the shower and some tidying up.

Today’s Wal Mart and Lowes expedition is for a vacumn sealer and a water filtration system.  As we bumble through the store we also are constantly looking for organizational stuff so that everything has its place on the boat.  We buy a few office racks and a few dried goods, as we have carrying capacity.  We have been reading the Bahamas bound Skipper Bob and are spurred on to stock up on supplies so the rule is always buy as much as we can carry comfortably.  We are defrosting the freezer so only dried goods allowed today.

It is an absolutely beautiful sunny day here in upstate New York and the trees have a hint of fall colours.  Life is good.

Dawson heads back to Lowe’s to buy the new water filter as Julie tries to catch up on some paperwork.  We head over to Ocean cowboy for a cocktail and update before going up to Aqua Vino which is the restaurant at the seawall.  Dinner is delicious.  It is date night and just Dawson and I have opted for a restaurant treat. Back to the boat for coffee and Kings cribbage.  

Dawson, Julie Annette, Ralph and Mike on Ocean Cowboy

Cheers

Julie and Dawson
