Oh no! Someone Stole the Warm!

Dear Readers,

Yesterday was a lovely day on the water. It was warm, but not hot. It was partly cloudy, so the cabin did not overheat. We made good time, and arrived at Osprey Marina in the late afternoon. 

This is an interesting marina to visit. Once again,  the entrance is a long narrow cut with barely enough room for 2 boats to pass each other (for me, that would be 2 kayaks). There is one long dock that extends a long way down the entrance- we are tied up there. 

From our spot, it's a long walk to the office. It's so long that the dock hand asked if we wanted him to give us a ride in the car- it seems he doesn't walk it himself! We turned it down. After all, he wasn't going to bring us back!

However, Osprey Marina makes it worth your while. You get a bag full of treats when you register. We received: pen, can koozie, 3 mints, a package of pecan twists, a Honeybun pastry,  a jar of pepper jelly, crackers, and a whistle. You might be thinking, Dear Readers, that this bounty was due to Halloween. Oh no, this is the usual gift bag!

We settled in for the night. The wind started up. The wind kept getting stronger. We had thunder and lightning. It rained.

This morning, we awoke to changed weather. 
In the night, the heat pump switched from air conditioning to heat. It is 49 degrees at Myrtle Beach. The Coast Guard is reporting 'heavy weather' out on the coast. Even Michael has put on a jacket! Someone took our warm weather. We definitely got tricked instead of treated on Halloween!

Today, we are headed to Georgetown.
