Day 100 Wednesday September 28, 2022
I can't believe it, ONE HUNDRED DAYS!
We have seen so much, learned so much and met so many great people -- boaters and in each town.
Alton has proved to be very relaxing. We are taking advantage of our time here to do boat maintenance and much needed chores. Provisioning is always part of the equation since we don't eat at restaurants all the time (even though it may seem that way). That can be a major chore if stores are at a distance from the marina.
Since we got that pretty much out of the way yesterday today was wash day. I did 3 loads of laundry and Jerry washed the boat! I had the easier job -- both are thankless jobs but chasing spiders and all the dirt that seems to find its way onto a boat is endless.
Day 101 Thursday September 29, 2022
Last day in Alton.
Jerry continued boat washing while I joined Laura and Joe for MORE shopping. Who said that I was done provisioning?? After all, we needed milk and who knows what else I might find. This time we Ubered to Schnuck's grocery store. Very nice store. I definitely found more than milk -- 2 bags of goodies!
Today was the day for docktails with the Mayor. Tuesday when he got home he shared his excitement about docktails with his wife; she promptly reminded him that they had another commitment. Mayor Goins showed up even though he had a conflict. After all, one of the boaters changed their flight to be able to join the fun!
