MONDAY AUGUST 2ND

The guys returned the rental car while Deone and I borrowed the marina courtesy car and went re-provisioning. We bought bacon, lots of bacon.

We made a stop at this produce market.

By the time we left we had watermelon, sweet corn (bad), peaches (to die for!!) tomatoes, and melons. BLT’s are on the menu about 5 days this week.




Ross fired up the engines and we headed out. We passed this lighthouse along the way. It is the Smith Point lighthouse and was auctioned off for $170,000 to a man from Winona, Minnesota.Notice the rectangular shaped structure on the right side. That's the privy!

61 miles later we arrived at Solomon’s Island.



The marina had bikes you could borrow so we all headed out to explore our surroundings.





Decided to make a stop at The Tiki Bar.

Really bad Mai Tai’s.
















This is why we don’t let Mark Ward drive out boat anymore!!!












Just kidding.

Met Joe Pica. A gold Looper from Pensacola, Florida. His boat is the Carolyn Ann. He was familiar with Solomon’s and gave us some good info.

Had an absolutely fabulous dinner at CD’s Café. Small place with a unique menu. Ross and I thought it was the best meal so far on the Loop.
