All the stars are beginning to align for the St. Johns River cruise. Ms. Bettencourt got a good external scrub down yesterday. Her fully-serviced trailer is parked out front. The plan is for my friend Paul and I to haul the boat Monday, then park the rig at the Augusta Ports Authority for loading and departure early Tuesday.
I will be doing the grocery shopping Monday afternoon, and it appears I won't need to buy much. Paul's wife Erena is sending along 24 sausage and egg muffins "which may be eaten hot or cold," plus a quantity of her famous chocolate chip cookies. Dia is providing a shrimp salad entree for a main meal, plus nutritional advice such as "don't blow your diet."
Our carefully-planned cruise itinerary has us in marinas with restaurants nearby every night of the trip.
So, the shopping list is sparse: Sandwich stuff for lunches, soft drinks, fruit and ice.
Of course, prudence demands that we also get some bratwurst, buns, chips and double-stuff Oreo cookies to provide sustenance should disaster strike.
Who knows what could happen? We might have to abandon ship. Preparedness is good.
