November 22

Happy Thanksgiving. We had a very nice traditional meal at O. C. White's, a restaurant just across from the marina. The building is an old one with thick stone walls and beautiful woodwork.

We spent a full day sightseeing and walking about town. Before we got together with the kids, we were on board the boat and BOOM! I thought the boat had been hit. It turned out to be the local reenacters at the fort beside us shooting off a cannon. The concussion hit the boat like a real object. Annette baked a pumpkin gooey cake and a pumpkin pie both of which survived the shelling from the fort. We returned to the boat for pie. In the evening, we went ashore and walked around the town, particularly around the campus of Flagler College. When we returned to the boat, I picked up a gas can I lent to a neighboring trimaran who had overfilled his gas cans and needed to get rid of some before it expanded and leaked out. Free gas! Thanks to all the people who called us today with Thanksgiving greetings.
