The brunch on Mother’s Day

 Hmmm, what should I write about today? I know, THE BRUNCH!  We moved the boat into a new marina this morning. The guys on the dock gave us some restaurant suggestions.  We decided we’d walk into town to go to the grocery store and if we saw someplace that looked good, we’d stop by for a little brunch.  Well, let me tell ya’. Did we find the place that is the most-ut (as Rosie used to say on the Jetsons). I have pics of it all,  bear with me while I relive our “little brunch”.   After eating copious amounts of the best Southern food, we decided we better walk the 1.5 miles to the grocery store.  It would be the smallest provisioning we have done yet, nothing looked good after eating all those scrumptious dishes.  We did indeed just buy just a few things, called the guy from the dock and he came into town to pick us up.  There is no Uber here yet so that was very nice of him to volunteer.  His entire truck was filled with, with, with,

Fire Dept, notice the fire boat to the left side of the pic!

L to R succotash, Mac & cheese, little red potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sliced turkey.

We would have paid $30 each for that meal!
L to R sliced turkey, bbq brisket NC style with vinegar, fried shrimp that David said was amazing! And fried chicken to die for.

 Broad  beans and broccoli augratin.

Fish Hooks Cafe, the BRUNCH place.

Police Dept, their boat isn’t as  fancy as the Fire Depts boat. Looks like a nice little house from the outside.  Think there’s a jail inside?
The salad bar.

The marina office.

Plus we added another small plate for just a little more of the pistachio marshmallow fluff, a  dish for cake, sweet potatoes, broccoli salad, even the red jello was better than usual.  Copious amount of food, right! No dinner for us!

A cool old building with  2 layers of red brick.

Crab, the town mascot.

Cornbread and pineapple cobbler.

Cute decorations inside the dining room.


Hope the videos play.  There just the waves and wind



guy junk??? Metal stuff, big plastic things, large canvas bags full of more guy stuff.  The inside of the truck was the same,  only the stuff was smaller stuff. David got in the back jump seat, pulled his shoulders together and said close the door, quick.  I sat in the front seat with the cans, bottles and half smoked cigs.  He apologized for all the stuff, bless his heart.  We were just extremely grateful we didn’t have to walk back to the boat! The wind storm started about the time we got back to the boat. It’s blowing consistently about 25 mph and gusting to 35.  All the boats are rocking and rolling, great for a Mother’s Day Nap.  I hope all you Mother’s out there are having a wonderful day as we all think of our children and give them mental hugs and kisses and hope they know what joy they bring everyday into our lives.  Thanks for celebrating the day with me!❤️

    Looked like a lot of good food. We searched for a place for a Mother's day dinner, we failed. Ended up with steaks and lobster on the grill. It was amazing, Robyn and Mike did the cooking. The water looks a little choppy. Do you have much issue with seasickness? I'm pretty sure I would. I loved your comment about hoping our kids know what joy they bring into our lives. Just like reading about family on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure on the sea. Hugs.

Still waiting

 Still waiting on estimates for the work that needs to be done, still waiting to catch the rat (we’ve decided it has to be a rat). We were awakened at 5:45 am by a big noise, yay we got him! No we didn’t, it sounded like the trap was sprung and he was dragging it around trying to get out of it, but no he was up in the ceiling above our bed doing God knows what.  We are positive there is no food around, just the snickers in the traps and we take the dog water bowl up every night too.  David did find the sump pump (the showers and sinks go into there and are pumped overboard) had overflowed and water was in the compartments below the floors so it could have had shampoo water to drink.  It’s been over 2weeks I think that we have been chasing it, grrrr.  We left the dock and are anchored right off the marina, close enough to poach their internet 😬.  Tomorrow we go out into Chesapeake Bay and to the Eastern Shore.  This weekend we will be in Onancock, VA a...

You haven’t been around until you run aground!

 The ICW was so exciting today.  The tides were with us today, we ran at an average of 8.2knots/1690 rpm’s and our top speed  at full throttle is only 7.9 knots, we got a free ride.  There was a lot of interesting things to see, the houses along the way were gorgeous, we got to watch a guy catching shrimp, several bridges which one of them was a swing bridge.  I find those fascinating!  I started the day by making a loaf of bread for dinner, then 3 loads of  laundry, then 3 hours to give Ellie a haircut, then vacuumed everything (10 minute job) to get all the dog hair off the floors and took a bunch of pics in between chores.  Then the excitement.....we came around a bend and saw the marina we are staying in for the night.  It was not only low tide, but a King Tide. When the moon is full, the high tides are higher and the low tides are lower.  Normally we fit just fine in the marinas but oh no, not when there’s a King Tide.  We were...
