November 24

We said goodbye to Susan and her family today. Everyone spent a relaxed morning. I stayed on board to charge the batteries, while Annette and the girls went shopping at Bealls and Sam and Grant went to the fort. Castillo De San Marcos (constructed between 1672 and 1756 of coquina shells). I joined them for lunch at A1A, a downtown pub with great food and an onsite brewery. Sam had the sampler of beers produced by the microbrewery and declared them all good with a particular nod to the darkest stout of which he got a second sample as part of the package. We even had desert-Annette and I shared a grilled banana split. We had a great time with part of our family here for Thanksgiving and being able to share them with Pat and Walt. We do miss Aunt Bev's though and watching the big bird being carved. Next Year! Tonight we will dine on board Eagle's Wings as Pat has prepared turkey breast and has gathered the makings for Manhattans.
