We did not write a blog on Sunday eveing because we had no internet service from Thoroughfare Creek, which is where we anchored for the night.
When we arrived at our anchorage, it looked like the "Red Neck Yacht Club" had found a new home. There were all sizes and shapes of boats with kids, dogs and people aboard. Some folks were in the water and some were on the boats, but all were happy.
Right in the middle of swampland with tall Cypress trees and thick forest, we had come upon this Sandy Island that is a nature preserve. The high sandy beach has deep water upto the beach and then a sand cliff about 20 ft tall. We joined right in with them. We took Maggie to shore for her "business" and talked with the friendly folks.
By the time the sun began to set, everyone had gone home and we settled in for the night as the mosquitoes took over the outside of the boat.
Monday morning, Mike decided Thoroughfare Creek was such a goods spot, we'd just stay another day to relax and enjoy the beauty. We also worked on a few projects.
I repaired 4 screens for the hatches around the boat & Mike stoodby as my consultant. As I repaired and cleaned, he watched the tide. After all, it changes every 6 hours and it needs watching!
In the afternoon, Mike was able to pick up a radio station that carried Rush Limbaugh. That kept him busy for a couple of hours & me looking for earplugs! We took the opportunity to discuss such important issues as which should come first - flossing or brushing. Mike contends that flossing should come first, while I say brushing. The discussion must continue as we both firmly stand our positions.
Supper was grilled fish with yellow rice on the aft deck just before sunset,. The picture is of Lifestyle II at anchor taken from the shore of Sandy Islanjd.
