The skies cleared during the morning hours and we were presented with a very humid and warm day. Maureen was up a little before 7 am and began working around the boat and on the computer. Gale was up at 4:30 am in Clear Lake and on the road about 5. He arrived in Alton shortly after noon. We needed to get the rental car back before 4:30 pm to avoid being charged for another day, but we had plenty of time to run the few errands that we needed to do before returning it.
At 6 pm we called “Comfort Cab” for a ride to Fast Eddie’s Bon Air, a popular biker bar and destination. We enjoyed a couple of beers, a great burger, some cocktail shrimp, a few chicken wings and the beef kabob. Great food for a small price! The restaurant has a very large outdoor seating area where they often have live music. Last year about this time, we were at Fast Eddie’s with Mark and Diane Holt when we crewed for them as they took their 62-foot Nordhavn, Adventure, down the Mississippi. That night there was a band playing on the corner stage.
