October 27 and 28

We had anchored after our sail yesterday in Mill Creek where we spent two more nights. The weather was rainy and then nice. We dinghied all the way to the back of Back Creek where there was a dock at the Holiday Inn. Then we tried to get a bus to a shopping center but the bus didn't run on the weekend. Another couple joined us and we decided to call a cab for the six of us and go together. We split up for shopping and for eating lunch. Annette and I went to what may be the worst fast food restaurant for accurate service in America. We got what we ordered but a lot of people were returning food because it wasn't prepared as ordered. We purchased a new, larger toater oven that we can power with the new generator. Our new friends, Bill and Mary, from a beautiful green American Tug called Mulligan met us and the Washers and we returned by cab to the Holiday Inn. The next day we came back with laundry and got the wash done. I picked up some more gasoline for the generator and we stopped to see Don and Ann Marie who were at a marina. The marina has an old pickup that always has the key left in the ignition for people to use. Annette and I rode with Ann Marie to pick up a few groceries and check out a marine store nearby. We had to hurry because Don and Ann Marie were going to the bar at the Holiday Inn to watch the New England Patriot game at four.
