Day 46, Year 8: No Jacket Required
Date: Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Weather: Another Lovely Day
Location: Lightkeepers Marina in Coquina Harbor, Little River, SC
We continue to have lovely weather here with warm days and cool nights. If
it rains, we need a jacket, but otherwise there’s no jacket required. But I
just checked the weather forecast for Boston on Christmas Day when Mark
flies from here to there, and it will definitely be jacket weather. Our
winter coats are in storage in Concord, New Hampshire, so I suppose he will
just have to wear layers of clothing under his foul weather coat. It looks
like it could be a snowy week in Boston. It will be quite a transition from
the marina here where they had to cut the grass today to a snow-covered
Boston.

| 121219 Day 46 South Carolina, USA–Joe Gets a New Grill |
I went shopping with my sister Patsy today and Mark went shopping with Joe.
Patsy was buying stocking stuffers and Mark and Joe went out to buy a new
computer printer and a new grill. Joe’s printer simply stopped working
yesterday and it costs more to fix an old one than to buy a new one. And his
grill had gotten so rusty that it was like cooking over a blow torch.
Tonight we had dinner aboard KEA and it was a fabulous, typically French
dinner. The first course was an onion and ham filled omelet baked in a
muffin tin accompanied by ratatouille and salad. This was followed by a
second course of lobster quiche. Then came a cr?me brulee desert with fresh
raspberries and dark chocolate almond lace cookies. The raspberries and
biscuits, as cookies are called in France, were supplied by Windbird. The
total fare was just delicious.
Tomorrow evening, weather permitting, the Dominiques from KEA will join a
group of us at Brookgreen Gardens to enjoy the light of a thousand candles
and innumerable Christmas lights. I’m looking forward to the happy feeling
the glow of those thousand candles should bring.
