The weather has been splendid!  Low 80's during the day.  I swim  laps when I can, we bike until our butts are too sore....and our tans are looking good.
We have had the privilege to be invited to join the nightly cocktail group on the dock. Most of the folks winter here, put their boats on the hard for the summer and head home to Canada, New Jersey, Michigan and yes, Little River, SC.  Everyone has captivating stories and have made us feel very welcome.  Last night Sharon took our picture and information to include in the group roster.
Dave and I have evaluated our equipment and decided the three most useful items we have are the bikes, the inverter and the IPad (the WiFi connections are not strong enough to use effectively). My Kindle Paper White has been a great advantage  for me during the sleepless times.
Remember I mentioned that ice became more expensive as we came further South.  Well,  in this marina the expense is the laundry ( $3.25 a washer load and $2.00 to dry)  However, we are saved by the fact that the complex has a free ice machine.  That would have added up over a 2 plus week stay.  Cable TV is included in the slip fee so Dave bought the lead and we have good reception.  Yes, the great Ravens' Game!
Today Dave is putting a longer hose on the lead from the water tank to the hot water heater.  the replacement drain plug for the dinghy finally arrived.  Dave thinks it vibrated out on our Gulf crossing. The motor is a bit iffy so we are not relying on it for everyday use.
At 1 PM today I will have a lesson in Mahjong.  It seems to be the new game for this age group taking the place of Bridge for the ladies.
Tomorrow we have been invited to a Cruiser's Luncheon.  The folks that bought our old seats from the Chris Craft have invited us to join them and are picking us up.  Larry is a DYI guy ao he and Dave should have lots to share.
Yes, we still plan to head up the Gulf Coast the end of our stay here.  This time we will wait for the right wind and weather conditions.
