The rain kept us in the cabin for most of the morning. I cleaned the galley and scrubed the head, while Carl helped a couple of boats tie up that came on the dock. Carl had Bella with him, she was jumping at another dog who didn't like it, and the dog turned on Bella and grabed her by the neck. Bella wasn't hurt but she did learn her lesson. I hope she won't try that again very soon.. We again met a young man with his grandma checking out the boats at the dock, Garrett and Sarah. Carl was talking to them when I brought up the trash to throw away. Again we invited them inside to see the boat. We love showing the boat to young kids and they like it too. They stayed aboard for a while when they had to leave to check out the museum. Garrett had just read about pirates, so it was quite fun for him. Pictures were taken, Garrett played with Bella for a time and then they were gone. They forgot their camera case so I ran it across the street to the museum to give it to them. Then Carl studied the charts and then we went and got the city bikes to ride around town. We wanted to take Bella but the baskets were not stronge enough to hold her. We rode the area for about a couple of hours, and found two great things. First we found a place that not only would trade us DVDs 2 for 1, good deal, so 5 new movies, then the same place had a chair I love. The chair is the first one I have ever found that would match our livingroom furniture, only problem is I have no way to get it home. It won't fit in our boat and shipping it would cost $200 and thats more than the chair costs, I can't do it. So if any of you are headed this way and you would bring it south for me let me know. I would give you $50 to bring it down for me but it is out of the way, its in Elizabeth City, N.C. I will post a picture of the chair. Just thought I would mention it, you never know who is headed this way. Carl and I continued our ride until we found a Dairy Queen, they  had 1/2 price malts so for $2.50 each got one, umummmm good.We returned the bikes just in time for happy hour at the dock, the daily wine and cheese party.We meet a few new people and then we were invited on to  Lisa and Tim's boat for cocktails. Linda and Lee were also there, it was fun... Then it was back on our boat where I made white bean and kale soup and we tucked in for a early night as we are leaving today.They call this town the Harbor of Hospitality and have a cool marker  that tells the story of how that began in the park right in front of our boat. Today we head over to Maneo, N.C. just inside the outer banks..
