We are all packed and ready to go tomorrow. We still have a few things to do to the boat. We should be home Friday morning sometime.



A strange thing happened at Happy Hour tonight. There were five or six of us sitting around when a man and a boy came up at a little after six looking for gas. The gas dock closes at 5:30 and the guy said he didn't have his wallet on him. His car was at Flagler Beach. He asked if anyone had some gas he could put in his jetski and he would bring it back tonight or tomorrow. John told me to give him what was in our gas can for the dinghy. It amounted to about two gallons of gas. They were from England and have a house here which they visit about three times a year for a month each time. The man said he's been coming here for 24 years. We were just sitting down to eat dinner when they came back with their gas can and refilled ours. Then the man sent the boy up to the car and he brought us a dozen roses and a bag of Russel Stover candy. That was above and beyond. When you have a good experience like this, you are more likely to help the next person who needs it. They were very nice.
