We had lost one of the ratchet straps that holds the dinghy to the swim platform so we stopped at a hardware store to pick up another. We purchased a few grocery items at the Variety Store and stamps at the post office (where we ran into the friendliest postal clerk I have ever met). There were only a few roads left that we had not driven, and they took us to the east side of the island. Most of the homes and small inns are named. A couple names I remember are Poker House and Landshark House.
Teach’s Hole is a small exhibit
highlighting the life of the pirate Blackbeard and we found it well done and
informative. We had not realized how
much pirate activity there was outside of the Caribbean and Florida. Thinking about dinner, we stopped into Ocracke Seafood and bought scallops and mahi-mahi to grill on the boat. By now we were hungry and stopped at a hot
dog stand designed to look like a boat.
The captain had a hotdog and I had the “walking taco”, essentially taco
fixings spooned into small bag of Fritos.
It was so good that Captain Randy had to get one of his own.
It was time to return the golf cart and we spent the rest of the afternoon doing projects and cleaning the boat. Captain Randy successfully repaired the center windshield wiper motor. Switching gears, the Captain donned his new Margaritaville apron and grilled our fish and scallops. Soooo good!! A short walk to a local ice cream stand topped off our meal. We held our breath as the Hawks and Kings started game 6 of their series. Not to worry – the Hawks come up with the win and force a Game 7 back in Chicago!
