Resort life

March 7th... Emerald Bay.
After breakfast...(our company demands more that coffee and nuts) the girls sunned and Kathy started a couple of loads of laundry. Due to squalls a the occasional rain cloud, we have lots of wet towels and damp clothing, so getting laundry done while it's free is important. The girls did their laundry yesterday so they could take home clean clothes.
After finishing with the clothes and eating some lunch, the girls and Kathy took the shuttle to the mall for some supplies while I showered and did the dishes. We spent the afternoon lazing around the boat mostly reading and finishing a few small jobs.
We grilled hamburgers for dinner and played some more cards before going to bed.
March 8th... Emerald Bay
Kathy did a couple of loads more of laundry in the morning and then we took off to hike to the Resort. We had a map and took off around the tee box of hole #12 which is right behind us and then through one of the gated condo communities to the beach. The resort was half way down the beach. We walked up the boardwalk to a central area that was about two acres of palms perfectly landscaped with a pool that curved through the entire area. Around the pool there were canopied chairs throughout with waiters circulating. We wandered over to one of the outdoor restaurants and ordered drinks and lunch which, although pricy, was excellent.
During our meal the sky turned dank and about the time we finished, there was a down pour. We were in the Hotel at the time ... shopping so stayed dry. I called the marina on the VHF for them to send a car over and Bradford was there in about 5 minutes. It was quite a place.
We did some more reading in the afternoon and I planked some chicken on the grill for supper... which we ate with black beans, rice and a Caesar salad.
The girls arranged for a cab to get them to the airport at six in the morning which was complicated a little by the fact that we were changing to daylight savings time at midnight. After one of the worst movies of all time everyone hit the sack.
