Day 301, Saturday April 19th, Wow over 300 days
on the boat
Well spent another restful night at the dock, but did have
to turn the heater on, we should have come back in May not April. All future cruisers please learn from our
mistakes.
The plan for the day is taxes for Julie and laundry for
Dawson. Dawson does fit a run in 1st
thing in the morning before Julie even wakes up.....sleepy head catching up
from all the anchor watches.

| Calm before the storm |
Julie gets on to the taxes around 10 and Dawson heads up to
do the laundry. The laundry is in a
candy store about ½ a km from the marina and consists of only 1 washer and 1
dryer making for a long day. Julie
continues with the taxes and Dawson wanders the streets in between loads. By 3 the laundry is done and Julie is at a
place where she can take a break from the taxes so we play some games and watch
a storm roll across the marshlands to the south of us. There is a warning of severe thunder storms
with hail so we keep our fingers crossed it does hit us. By 6 o’clock we are sure we are clear and
head out for a walk prior to our evening coffee.

| Julie's Easter decorations |
St Mary’s is a quaint little town with a number of parks and
public spaces along the water front. An
interesting plaque states that St Mary’s was the site of one of the last battles
of the War of 1812. There are also plaques
describing the bird and animals of the region and we spot a Woodstork flying by
as we read them, and chat to a fisherman who has caught a bunch of catfish and
crab. We also read that there are
manatees around here so we will have to keep our eyes out for a sighting.
Cheers
Dawson and Julie
