When I last wrote the blog we were going to take the dinghy to get Tom some sort of drugs to ease the pain of his aching tooth - then the skies opened up and the rain, lightning and thunder began. It lasted over 3 hours with pounding rain and thunder, and then winds.

Around 2100 that evening things started to die down and we ended up with a calm night. Friday morning brought sun and hot weather. After breakfast we got in the dinghy and headed over to shore to do what we had planned the day before. Before we did that though we stopped by Quest(Sandy's boat) to see how she faired and how her engine repair was going. She said she was stable but still needed to do some more diagnosing but it was looking better. Then to Hemy's boat to see how he faired - his anchored dragged and he did bump into Terry and Julie's boat (still don't know the name of their boat) but no damage was sustained. Then over to Joe and Mary Ellen's to say hi. We invited them over around 1600 for a game of Rummycube. They said see you later.

Over to southport raw bar - tied up - went to the Dollar store and then walked to CVS for some drugs and also found a portable water pik which hopefully will help with Tom's toothache!

Went back to raw bar and guess what - we didn't order clams! I had a shrimp and scallop ceviche and Tom had a steak burger - both delicious!

Mary ellen and Tom came over at 1600 - we had a great afternoon teaching them the game - Joe won the first one and Tom the second - the girls were snuffed out. We had bought a pizza for munchies (Tom's idea) and it went over great. After they left we ran the generator, sat on the back deck and read, etc. It was a very relaxing day and evening.
