We traveled from Charleston to Beaufort on Tuesday in chilly weather and dropped the anchor just outside the city docks and decided to stay for two nights. We needed a trip to the grocery store on Wednesday to get our Thanksgiving fixins'. It's a little more complicated to make a grocery run when you live on a boat. This is the procedure - prepare the dinghy to launch; load up the shopping bags (don't forget the insulated shopping bag for the ice cream!); hop in the dinghy and motor to shore; use the car GPS to locate a grocery store; walk to the store (the Piggly Wiggly was about a mile away); get the groceries and walk back to the dinghy. You can't hang around too long or the ice cream will melt and you can't buy more than you can carry in a backpack. It all worked well, though.
We had a relaxing time quilting, watching other boats and the birds on the water, and enjoying the almost full moon. We had to go ahead and bake the Thanksgiving pie and try it out because there was no room for it in the freezer. It was very tasty.
