As we were getting ready to pull into the marina, we noticed the Coast Guard following us with their lights on. As we’d heard nothing from them on the radio, Ellen went to the stern to try to find out if they were stopping us to board for a random safety inspection. Still no word from them and the lights went off so we thought we were “good to go”. We pulled into the marina to get fuel and a pump out and two Coast Guardsmen approached and asked us when the last time was that we had been boarded by the Coast Guard to which we replied, “never”. They come on board and checked all of our safety equipment and registrations for the boat and the dinghy and we passed with no violations! All credit for that goes to our distinguished Captain!
We enjoyed walking around the town and having lunch and ice cream with Misty and Darrel. That evening we went to see the movie Where the Crawdads Sing and ran into Caroline and Todd from Sunset Dreams in the theatre.
