September Song and Sea Pearl left the dock before 8 am. It was a cloudy day and looked like it might rain. Maureen got an early start on the laundry and had that chore finished by 10:30 am. During the late morning, we walked uptown to see if we could pick up some milk and fresh produce. We were able to find milk (2% rather than our preferred skim) but no produce could be found at either of the “groceries” we checked out. On our way back to the dock, we stopped at a coffee shop and shared a cinnamon roll and orange juice.
At 2 pm, at the lowest tide, we moved the boat from the slip out to a mooring ball in the harbor. We would have waited for a little more water under the keel, but the winds were kicking up and the sky was growing darker. A couple of the dock hands helped us get away safely and in no time at all, we had grabbed the assigned mooring ball’s pennant and were secured nicely once again just before the rain began and the wind really started blowing.
We were toasty and warm inside our cabin as we enjoyed our evening meal. Maureen prepared beef stroganoff with noodles – a crew favorite.
