Day 300 Friday April 18th, a day at the marina

We wake up to a dark overcast morning, no more beautiful sun. We are starting to think we should have spent
another 2 weeks in the Bahamas and crossed over in May. We have a breakfast date with Ham and Peter
from Sarah G at 9:30 and then a trip in to Walmart. A very exciting day planned.

| On the quest for grits |
We have a skype call with Doug and Ruth our friends in
Sudbury to get the latest news and then head out with Ham and Peter for
breakfast. Peter has been looking
forward to a breakfast with grits so he organized this trip as his treat. There are a number of restaurants on the main
street in St Mary’s but all are closed so we make our way up to the local
coffee shop, the Blue Goose. We have a
seat, look at the menu but no grits are to be found. We inform the staff that we are in a quest
for grits and they direct us up the road to a diner. The diner is the perfect choice featuring not
only grits but hush puppies as well (deep fried dough).
We enjoy a good breakfast and then head back to the boats
for the next adventure, a trip to Walmart.
We hire a cab for the trip and find that Walmart is a long way
away. We all pick up some groceries and
Peter and Julie mange to squeeze in a haircut and then back to the marina. By the time we are back it is 3:30 pm, it
always amazes us how the day goes.

| At the Seagle Hotel |
At
5:00 we head up to the Seagle Hotel where Bruce from Mamba has reported there
is an obnoxious bar maid. True to
Bruce’s word we find ourselves in the Seagle Hotel Bar which is the domain of
Cindy Chubbs. Cindy quickly sets us all
up with a beer insulting us, which is her thing, while we all chat. She is an excellent server and keeps us
entertained and is on top of all our needs.
There are about 8 of us in the group from 5 different boats. We check out the menu, which looks good and
we settle on the “basket of gator”.
Having a taste of gator has been on Julie’s bucket list since we first
saw it advertised. The gator is alright,
nothing really special but it is good to get it checked off the list.
On a side note every American Thanksgiving Seagles hosts a
boaters Thanksgiving dinner, and is something we had been told about by other
boaters. George and Jackie had attended
in 2012 and spoke very highly of it.
We all head back to the boats around 8, quick game of kings
cribbage a coffee and we are off to bed.
Cheers
Dawson and Julie
