We dinghied Ralph and the luggage to the dinghy dock and then I returned to get the rest of the crew. Ralph and June were scheduled to be picked up at the local restaurant, O'Maddy's at noon. Gulfport was having a street fair so we all had time to visit some of the venders. Before departing the boat and saying goodbye the Captain officially promoted Ralph and June from Swab to Mate. And well deserving they were!! After the van picked them up Denniese, Maggie and I visited more venders and had a veggie panini at an outside restaurant. We enjoyed watching the people and dogs on parade past our table. My friend Robert called and said a storm was heading our way. We walked back to the dinghy dock and guess what?? The dinghy motor would not start. A local marine policeman was nest to us and he towed us back to our boat just as the storm started. We watched as a sailboat drug anchor and floated past us. We felt good about our anchor so we took the opportunity to take a nice nap with the wind and ran. Sooo nice!! Later as the skies cleared we cleaned and I worked on the dinghy motor but no luck. Tomorrow we will worry about that,, Scarlett.....
