More explorations to the south

Wednesday, June 26


Today is my mom's 80th birthday! Happy Birthday Mom!





This morning I went in to the government dock for a few minutes to walk up to where I could get a wi-fi signal to check email. Then I went over to Long Island Petroleum to gas up the Whaler.





An hour before the expected high tide at the Creek, we ran back down there. I was disappointed to find NO access from the south deep enough for the MERCY, due to the sand shoals. I explored the area from west to east this time, and followed a narrow dug canal around. I wonder if these canals were dug for the old salt pond operations? I followed one that parallels the Creek, which is a natural channel, that curves around to parallel the west side of the bay N23 10.6' W 075 09.6' I'm going to try to find some history on these, and if I do, will reference a later post here.





The mailboat came in this evening, as it does here each Wednesday, and stays until Thursday morning. When I went to church tonight, I tied up at a parishioner's dock for the service time, leaving the Whaler a little further away from the mailboat activity.





My insulin pump has been delivered to my Good Samaritan in the States, who is flying home to Long Island tomorrow.
