Day 193 The Storms Continue

Starting to think we need to trade the Hatteras in for an ark. It rained most of the night and continued into today. Floridians can't take this much gray. Our tans fade and we start getting cranky. Woke up to clouds and Angie and Dan from Sea Horse walking by our boat. Surprise. We've been here so long, boaters, who had to go home or had issues, are catching up with us. During a break in the rain, John and I hiked to the CVS and Piggly Wiggley in the morning. Didn't rain again until we walked outside with all of our groceries. Thanks a lot!  After taking our supplies back to the boat, we wandered down to Free Bird so we could go to Pappa Joe's for the best oysters in town. They are huge, it's hard to eat them in one bite. Delicious. The weather started turning wet and cold again, so we hung out at the boat talking weather windows...again. Quit beating that dead horse and headed for the Bowery Station, our new favorite place. Lisa and Matt bought this vintage store front a year ago and turned it into a comfortable funky tavern with music daily. Tonight the Gray Catz played - two gray haired guitarists, who did a lot of 70's rock. Then at the end of the night, I requested "Wagonwheel" but they didn't know it. Suddenly Matt picked up his guitar then a customer grabbed a mandolin off the wall and they did an impromptu version while one of the duo on the electric guitar picked up the tune. A memorable moment and fun night. Tomorrow Sara and John are sailing to Carrabelle stageing for their Gulf crossing on Friday. Sundowner will stay here one more day, then boat to Alligator Point. We will miss them mucho but they will be in Punta Gorda for the winter so we will reconnect after we get home. Fell asleep to more rain, but it's suppose to FINALLY  move through tomorrow.
