This
morning was the “Happy Girl” walk which is what Patty, harbor
host, calls her walk with the little sea dog, Maggie, each morning...
and I went along. We walked a little over two miles. Then Linda from
Spiritus needed groceries so all the girls (3) went to the grocery
store while the guys, harbor host Robert, Walter and Eddie from
Spiritus, went to West Marine. Eddie has something wrong with his
generator so that must be fixed before they can continue the loop.
Girls: Linda, GA & Patty
Patty
has recently retired from United Airlines ....she piloted 747s!!
West
Marine is way over on the other side of the river so it should not
have surprised us that they didn't come back right away but went out
to lunch... Guy Time! In the end they would not be back in time for
us to go to the museum as planned... well, loosely planned as all
things Looping usually are.....
Guys: Robert, Eddie, Walter
Robert
gave his down river talk again tonight about where and how to anchor
in a river behind wing dams and a few other odd places. So glad we
got to hear this a second time.....tonight the Captain took notes and
we had the river charts in front of us. At the end I was not as
intimidated as I was on Saturday night when we first heard these
instructions. But still I think I will be ever so glad to be off the
Mississippi River!
Then
the group all went out to dinner tonight at this really neat place in
town called Mac's. Great food and fellowship. We will miss these
dear folks who have hosted us!
Walter,
Linda, GA, Eddie, Patty & Robert.
