Today was a “get the boat ready” to head out tomorrow and “just
relax” day. Josh started off with making
slip reservations at The Wharf Marina for tomorrow night for all three boats and
making sure our new windlass was being shipped to New Orleans and when it would
arrive. We then took our boat over to fuel
up and pump out. Then we road our bikes
around town for some exercise and had lunch at a restaurant named the Tin Cow (a
gourmet hamburger place – you’ve never seen so many toppings and possibilities for
a burger! Watch out Whataburger!). It
was soooo good! We needed new AC filters for both air conditioners, so we went
to the local hardware store to see if they had our size. The great thing about small local hardware
stores is they help solve problems. They
told Josh to purchase a standard sized one that measured the total of the two
that we needed, then put a piece of duct tape on each side at the midpoint, cut
the filter in half and tape the ends to reconstruct the missing frame, to make two
of the size that we needed. Buy one,
make two – what a great idea - and it worked.
We then made our last trip to Joe Patti’s for some dessert, they have
GREAT ice cream. Mike and Renee on S/V
Faith arrived back from Texas around 2:00 PM and we were able to make a grocery
store run with their rental car before they turned it in. Cruisers need to buy when they can! The day ended with another great sunset!!!!!
We
were settled in and Josh was watching TV in his man-cave and I was reading a
book when we heard a loud boom, boom, boom.
We both got up and when we looked out of the bow windows there was a
fireworks display coming from the ballfield adjacent to the marina. This fireworks display was just like Fourth
of July! Thanks Pensacola, what a great
send off!!!
