Wednesday, May 11, 1994 - Ready to Sail

Busy day. Did the laundry in the morning. Had to rush to catch the 12:53 bus, so I didn't have time to eat lunch. Grabbed a couple of slices of raisin bread and hurried to the bus stop. Got downtown at two. Found good mail in the box, including a $170 check. Turned in the key and the change of address form. Crossed the street to the bank and drew out $3000. Wanted to get $2000 worth of travelers' checks, but the bank charged 2%, so I went out to American Express, where they're 1%. Also, picked up some more of Roy's prescription at Revco. Missed the fast bus to American Express, so I had to take a bus that ambled all over the place. Took half an hour to do what the #6 bus does in six minutes. Finally got there and bought the checks. Returned to town on the #6, crossed the street, and got on the #20. Didn't have to wait at all. That bus took me all the way to Boat/U.S. Got the refund, bought some chicken at Food Lion, and returned to the boat.
Al painted the decks with gray primer. Didn't finish until ten o'clock. We're not going to apply the yellow finish paint until we get to Morehead City or Charleston. Rain predicted for tomorrow.
