Friday, July 10: Alice’s Breakfast. Dave’s Boat

Good morning. Today I set the alarm for 9 AM to get up. We got out of bed around 9:15 AM this morning, which is early for us on this vacation. Mary wanted some coffee because we were almost out of our stock coffee. So I went to Guapo‘s coffee, which is a three minute drive and a 10 minute walk outside of the drive and there was a nice long line for the coffee shop. I sure like four people gotten for online just before I did, but it’s now 941 and I’m still waiting in this line. Successfully got the coffee but did do a little bit of spillage in the car so I had to clean up the car. We then had Alice’s Challah bread. It was really good. I I enjoyed very much. Alice said call Dave to see if we could ride on his boat. Dave was eating breakfast but I don’t think Dave’s up for he just cleaned his slip and taking out a boat is a whole procedure. One of the many reasons I don’t buy a boat beside the fact, I’m on a civil service salary and don’t own a condo other than that… turned out that Dave and Deb were up for riding the boat and they called us to see if we were up for riding with them so we decided to ride with them. That was fun. I never wrote in his boat and it was good to get that done. We took the boat all the way up to Bram Beach yacht club, a.k.a. yacht yacht land and we had a nice time. We were pretty slow the whole time cause we’re really close to Marina’s and we had to do low wake. The only big wakes were caused by bigger boats and jet skis. The sun was out. It was nice. After that, we decided to go out and neat lunch the place we were going to Dave and Debbie recommended was closed due to maintenance. Ended up going to the the dockside diner. Mary and I have been there for breakfast a couple of times in the last two years. It was a really nice place. There was nobody there so we just grab a quick lunch. I had soup and half of Alice’s sandwich which was pretty delightful actually. We asked him if we could order breakfast and pick it up and yes that’s what we’re gonna do pick it up from there tomorrow morning cause we’re gonna get up very early so we can try to beat traffic is the best we could. Alice is going to A Service. She’s leaving here around 5:30 PM in Mary and I are going to eat shower and maybe take a walk before dinner. Well we got a really nice sunset here tonight. Looks like it’s not gonna rain at all. In fact it looks like it’s gonna be soft wispy clouds not the kind of clouds that that might cause rain. It’s a nice day to sit and look at the sun and take a walk. I think we’ll do both. Before that, we threw a bunch of more clothes in the washer and it was a good idea cause it’s mostly towels. Nice day to end our week at the shore. Really can’t complain we only had two days that were somewhat a little bit drizzly but no real heavy duty all day rain kind of crap which was really fortunate because the weather forecast was not looking promising. We were looking at it earlier. we sat and I didn’t read much but I did look at some TikTok videos. Well it turned out I got home and then we just chilled out and then Alice called in some dinner from Uber eats and we ordered fish tacos. Weren’t they honey tuna tacos and we got four of them and they got delivered to a two and serve too, but I had a picture and the guy gave it to us and they were very delicious tacos also also ordered some ice cream. It was really nice of her to treat us to dinner. And Alice gave Mary her picture of the view outside our lovely window, which is really nice. It’s now 1055. We pretty much are packed and ready to go for early tomorrow morning. Here comes a wrap up under there for 5 week odyssey in vacation to San Diego, Alaska, back to San Diego, then to Long Beach Island. It’s been quite a trip and it’s been really fun. I had some digestive struggles, but nothing really bad. Mary has her knee, but she’s gonna work on that.
