The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the temperature's in the 60's. We're really in Florida at last!
After breakfast, we went over to the office and signed up. The prices here are very reasonable. Someone in Norfolk recommended this place as both good and economical, and he was right. Hauling, power wash, and return will cost us approximately $180. Days both in and out of the water are $12.75 (25 cents a foot plus $3 for electricity).
We plan on spending one week in the water and one week on land, unless, of course, Roy finds something radically wrong.
We put our bicycles together and rode over to the highway. Bought a few groceries at Winn-Dixie and a birthday present for Gina. I took the stuff back to the boat and wrapped Gina's present. Then I went to the post office to mail it. I had expected the nearby post office to be a small branch; I thought I'd have to go downtown to the main post office to get my General Delivery mail. To my surprise, this post office turned out to be the main one, so I was able to get my mail as well as mail Gina's present. And what an amazing stroke of dumb luck I had! While I was standing in line, I suddenly realized I'd forgotten to bring Gina's address. I was kicking myself for being so dumb and thought sure I'd have to go back to the boat to get her address. Then I got my mail and there was a Christmas card from Linda and Gina with their return address on it! How lucky can you get! So I was able to mail Gina's present right away. And Gina sent me her Fourth Grade photo. I was amazed by how much she looked like Linda at that age. At first glance, I thought it was Linda's picture.
We rode around some more and explored the area. It's very attractive here. Lots of water.
