Day 6 - Nov 1, 2013
We awoke to a small sailboat dragging anchor across the channel and heading toward the Municipal Docks. Towboat US appeared out of nowhere, took the boat in tow and put it into a slip two over from ours.

We stayed in port today. The approaching cold front was expected to be here by 2100 hrs tonight and blown out by 0700 Saturday morning. Latest prediction say everything is delayed so we’ll have to wait and see.

We took a walk around town at midday and found our favorite bakery has closed up. Sign says they have moved somewhere? Moving on we visited a local book/gift shop and then had lunch at the Ruddy Duck Tavern. The temperature was so mild we got seating outside on the deck facing Sugarloaf Island. Lunch was a shared Wahoo Bites and French Fries plus we both had a cup of Clam Chowder. All were very good. We also sampled Hoppyum, an India Pale Ale from Foothills Brewing. Splitting a very good homemade Banana Cream Pie topped off an excellent dining experience.

After lunch, Donna visited some galleries and craft studios. I returned to the boat to install some additional lines and adjust the existing ones in anticipation of the front. I finally managed to get the boat positioned so the bumpers were no longer creaking against the hull and dock. Trying to reduce the infernal slapping of water against the stern was a lost cause effort.

Enough for today.
