Monday, September 23 Refuge Cove to Squirrel Cove ½ hour 4.1 miles

The day started out crystal clear and warm sun.  We had a beautiful, if brief, ride over to the Squirrel Cove anchorage.   We were shocked to find only one power boat in the anchorage.  We have never been here with this few of boats.  We put the dinghy down and made a run to the grocery store here.  While Fred went up to the laundry room for the free WiFi they have.  He was able to make sure the bills are getting paid. I let Merlin play on the beach  We then did our shopping.  Of course dogs aren't allowed in the store.  We tied Merlin up for about 15 minutes and he barked and cried as if we were never coming back.  Poor baby.  The store is well stocked and even has ice cream.  When we came out of the store the clouds had come in and they look scary.  We just made it back to Emerald Star when the heavens opened up.  Great timing.
