At the Tidewater Marina, we are on a fixed dock. It’s been a bit tricky because the tide can swing as much as 4 feet. Each day, Kelly kept changing the fenders to make sure the boat didn’t rub against the posts. Today, she thinks she got it right!

In the evening, Kelly had dinner with “Silver Linings”, their Aunt and Uncle and Sam from “Tidbit” at a local German restaurant. It was a great time. We enjoyed meeting Katie’s aunt and uncle. They were loud and funny! Her aunt gave Kelly and Sam a hot chocolate ball (just add warm milk) and a dollar to buy a lottery ticket. She didn’t want us left out from getting a gift.  

Throughout our journey, we have seen the effects of labor shortages and tonight was no different.  Our food took a long time and it arrived cold. As a result, we got many of our meals for free and the cold meals to take home which made for a great leftover. Once they fixed the problems, the food was good ….and so were the drinks!

Afterwards, Kelly came back to the boat and adjusted the fenders again!!
