Saturday, May 12, 2007 - Belhaven Waterways Marina

We went for an early walk through the neighborhoods near the waterfront before breakfast. There was very little activity in town on an early Saturday morning. I started applying masking tape in preparation for varnishing the cap rails. It was overcast with a few drops of rain now and then so varnishing didn’t look likely.

While I was taping, we heard sirens and horns so we walked to town to see what the commotion was. It was a home coming parade for the Belhaven High School Wildcats. Either they still have segregated schools or they have separate black and white home comings, because everyone involved in or watching the parade was black. It was a lot of fun. The drummers and dancers were especially good.

I finally got to varnish after lunch and luckily it didn’t rain. A cold front is predicted for tomorrow so the second coat of varnish may have to wait for a day or two. Dora washed the louvered cabinet doors, from the galley and pantry, on the dock. We had grilled steak for dinner and watched another movie from the marina’s collection.
