Dusk at site 55

More rain this morning while we were having coffee.  It rained hard but not for very long.  We didn't do much this morning except computer stuff and watching the tide come in and out.  There is a nine foot tide change in this ares, so that is twice a day that the water falls and rises.  I have no idea how much larger the spring tides are.

We tuned into service from Oakey Blvd. and worshiped with our home congregation.  Great singing and lesson.  We heard Neva's voice between Bible study and worship.  Gerri had called her and talked last night, but it was good to hear her voice.

The marina at Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort

After Church we went shopping at the local Walmart and picked up some things to go with the shrimp dinner we planned tonight.  I had shelled and deveined the shrimp this morning.  There were 22 of them so I froze 11 for later.

I spent a lot of time setting up the grill and just generally hanging around outside while Gerri fixed the things to go with the shrimp.  A couple of years ago I had the RV Doctor install a hose and fittings so the grille could use propane from the main RV tank as opposed to canisters.  This was the first time we had used it.

Fresh local shrimp for dinner

We sat out for awhile on the deck attached to our site.  It was very pleasant watching traffic on the water, the fish jumping and the birds.

Gerri fixed deviled eggs using avocado instead of mayonnaise and mustard, made rice using Zaterand spices.  She had also marinated the shrimp in Cajun spices.   It only took a few minutes to cook the shrimp.  What a meal.  One of the best we have had.  Our next stop is St. Augustine, 232 miles south.

Our last sunset at Hilton Head Island

I drained the sewer tanks and unhooked the water hose.  I left the sewer hooked up because I plan to take a shower before bed tonight.  I also took down the flags and stowed the flagpole.  I won't have a lot to do in the morning.

After TV and computer time we went to bed planning to get started by 9 AM.
