It was a restful night. After breakfast we took Sailor to shore at a rural launch ramp less than a quarter mile from where we were anchored. We walked up the narrow road past some expensive homes. A black lab and a Scottie came running out to greet us. We were worried about Sailor being ugly but he knew better than to take on two dogs.
We worked around the boat until 1300 until the tide had risen above mean tide before going to town. Because the tide was still rising, we had several hours we could spend in town without worrying about being stranded. We walked around town for a while then bought some things at the hardware store for my hatch project and stocked up on groceries. We bought some refreshing milkshakes at an old drug store that had been converted into a restaurant, complete with a soda fountain.
We have no cell phone reception at all. All of a sudden my phone beeped and indicated that I had four new voice messages, but of course I couldn’t listen to them. That worried me a little so we went back to town and I called my sister Susie to make sure everything was OK in Corpus Christi, Texas. Everything was fine.
I think that Friday evening was the most pleasant of the whole trip, so far. It was calm and cool enough to need a long sleeve shirt. We sat out on the front deck to watch the sunset until dark.
