Sunday, October 28 – Myrtle Beach:  Yesterday, Saturday, we were pretty much “slugs” and really just took the day off.  However, to prepare for the hurricane, I made a spaghetti dinner, garlic bread, and we had a nice bottle of red wine.  However, the hurricane was basically a bust here – a little wind, a little rain – it must be saving itself for our friends and family up north.  Maybe I just willed it away since I can’t imagine riding out a hurricane in a boat.   So Sunday morning we slept in, made a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs with green onions and cheese and English muffins (is this boring enough for you, yet??) and then so we weren’t complete “slugs” again, I did laundry and cleaned the inside of the boat, and Bob cleaned the outside of the boat.  Now it’s all nice and clean and ready to get dirty again as we plan to head out tomorrow.   A boat is like a small child – the minute you clean it, it tries its best to get dirty immediately, and usually succeeds.  It’s almost a lost cause.  The restaurant here is pretty good and we decide to go there for lunch, which will be like dinner to us, and then chill for the rest of the day.  But – they have “award winning” wings on the menu (it seems they were featured on the food network and “The View” a few years ago) so Bob and I have decided to go for the wings later on.  Maybe we’ll be really daring and get a beer with them.  I hate to disappoint all you readers out there, but this has been basically the day.  Please…I can’t take every day like the ones we have been through previously.
            But don’t worry…tomorrow we leave for Cow House Creek, and we have to face the dreaded “rockpile”….

  1. Sounds great to have a few quiet days! (I remember the "Rockpile"...kind of narrow! But you'll be fine!) It is Sunday evening, Sandy is on her way...it's getting windier and wetter. Gulp!
