Day 27, Friday, November 23, 2007 (Black Friday)

We slept late if you can call 0700 late. We did breakfast and then I called Enterprise to rent a car. We had them pick us up at the marina. We needed to replace the dead computer and reconnect with the world. What better day for deals than Black Friday! We headed out to do some shopping.

Walter went fishing with a relative who lives close by. Maggie, Judy and Larry did not want to go shopping so they went for a long walk and hung around the marina the rest of the day.

Donna found a Staples and we bought a new computer. Then we found a BJ’s Wholesale club and restocked some items. We stopped at Barnes and Nobles to give Donna a book and magazine fix. We also found a West Marine and exchanged the inverter we had bought in Morehead City. On the way back to the boat we saw a Wal-Mart so we stopped and got more supplies for us and Larry.

Later that evening we packed everyone into the car and went to the Dixie Crossing Restaurant. Six people in a sub-compact is a hoot, especially with Maggie being the navigator. The restaurant was crowded, obviously a locals favorite. The meals were plentiful and good. Back at the marina, everyone returned to their own boat.

Unfortunately the wind, which had been picking up all day, kept us pitching about until almost midnight. The space heater was keeping things warm inside so after midnight sleep came easy.
