Well, we're lucky enough to get the free dock at The Provision Company tonight. Thank you Provision Company.

For those of you who don't know, The Provision Company is a somewhat legendary waterfront casual restaurant in Southport. They have delicious food at reasonable prices and great atmosphere. On certain days, this place crawls with customers.

They didn't let us down. We went in for dinner and Libby ordered the yellowfin tuna sandwich. It was succulent. Wow what a great sandwich.

By the way, I forgot to mention that we got past the two deadly shoals in the ICW without incident. In both cases, we got lucky and crossed the dangerous parts at high tide. Tomorrow, we cross yet another one. Again, with a little luck, we'll get there about at high tide.

Does anybody want to do a good deed for the day in Oriental? Do what I did. There is a tiny museum in Oriental that has artifacts from local history. It is only open for 4 hours, twice per week. The lady host on duty most of the time is ancient. She looks like a raisin. Look carefully at her face though, then look carefully at the pictures on the wall. She used to look like Jane Russel. I asked her if she was really the beautiful woman in the picture. It made her day.
