In Carrabelle - week 2

Well it the beginning of week 2 in Carrabelle. Will probably have to update the blog from Carrabelle at least two more times before we think about leaving.

It sure is a tuff life here. A typical morning is - Let's see if I can remember -  we had coffee on the back deck, Breakfast of eggs, fried spam, and bagel toast,  Carol washed a load of clothes & i worked in the engine room for a bit , had coffee on the marina deck  in the swing, did some paperwork and computer stuff ,  sat in the rocking chairs  and chatted with some of the locals and one other boat person, and going to have lunch now. And there you have a typical morning.  In the afternoon Lunch and Nap call. Then we do a few odd things (see below) and around 5 sit on the porch with the locals and tell "TRUTHS" at happy hour (or two or three hours). Supper, bath, and bed then follows. I know it is a Tuff life but someone has to do it.

O' yea for varity we did a couple of other things; got fresh shrimp off the boat that stopped here for fuel, cleaned the shrimp and had fresh shrimp/cloe slaw,/taters for supper, one of the guys went fishing and left a snapper with us - grilled and was perfect (wahoo tomorrow); for exercise we like walked to one end of the town one day and stopped by the grocery store on the way back (that was about a half mile to the end of town and a block to the store). Tired us out so had to do some lemonade on the swing after. The next day walked to the other end of town to the hardware store (about 3/4 mile). Also checked out where the restaurants were (but it is hard to beat fresh caught shrimp or fish cooked on Sandpiper) but we promised ourselves we would go at least once cause everyone has told us how good they are. yep did a couple of chores on the boat but all is well and we are in no rush. Went to a festival the other day, excellent food, lots of vendors selling stuff, music, etc. Got a Sour cream pound cake, went and got fresh strawberries, had Strawberry Shortcake. Went got more cake the next day.

Life is good here, not busy-busy-busy. Current plans are to stay till the Kingfish Tournment on 5/14. Then look for a good weather window along with the full moon to go across to St. Pete.

Here are a few pics;
