Titusville Marina - The Sun comes out, the winds subside, ...

 

No swimming here! I did see an alligator there one time.

The storm that plagued the east coast has finally moved out to sea. Even though we were not as hard hit as areas north of us, we did get some of it. The winds are back to the normal northeast winds of 10 to 15 with bright sun with whose encouragement, the temperatures reached into the 70s. 

This is a flashback to Jekyll Island Marina - they had free golf carts to use in exploring the island.

We chose to use Walmart's delivery service today instead of Instacart. Walmart's service has much better prices since you get the in-store pricing. Instacart services Publix and everything you buy through them includes a markup just for using Instacart even though you pay a monthly fee on top of everything else not to mention the tip. We ordered in bed before we got up and the groceries were delivered by 11:30 am. I much prefer ordering groceries that way, who needs to see everything you buy? We've never had any problem with what's picked out.

I wrote an article today for Waterway Guide on the backups on the ICW this migration due to the bad weather, the closing for four days of the #7 Railroad bridge in Norfolk, the high water impacting clearance under bridges for the sailboats, and more. Everyone is bunched up in clusters as they proceed down the ICW, not good for trying to get reservations at marinas. 

Tuesday is laundry day and catching up with Waterway Guide work. We're snug, warm, and chilling out.
