Thunder is looking for another chance to jump to the dock, to give these sailors the scariest Halloween ever...
Post Halloween update: Thunder came through. On Nov 1, we were talking with the sailors in the slip next door and Thunder was within our sight so we thought we could stop any jumping. For the first time, he jumped not from the gate area but from the stern to the dock, then immediately on the the next door sailboat and into the cabin! We apologized and they said we could go in and get him. Dave scurried after and caught him after he jumped to a table, and 2 other areas.
Wow! That was brave and seemingly all thought out.
We had dinner at The Salty Crab restaurant and bar next to the marina. Very pleasant service and nice meal choices with a view of the skeletons on their pirate ship.
Back at the slip, we watched the Young Frankenstein movie! One of our favorites. It was one of the reasons Claire wanted to play the violin, to play the Transylvanian Lullaby by John Morris.
It was nice to talk with the owner of Dowry Creek Marina and hear some of the story of how his family bought the marina. We appreciate their personal touch and knowledgable staff. They wear many hats, all pitching in to do what needs to get done. It's a small marina, so managable by a family. They had free laundry, comfy clubhouse with books, games, instruments and exchange library. They kindly sign out a car for slipholders to borrow for 90 minute sessions. We were able to explore Belhaven shops and get some groceries.
A question from Thunder:
Where is this "Mice Tea" everyone talks about making? I NEVER get any!
