The Day after Sandy, some Blue Sky Alligator River Marina, NC

Monday was an uneventful day for us. Ms Wanda the owner of the marina offered to drive us into town for dinner. She thought maybe we were getting a little stir crazy. We had Dinner at the Good Time Tavern, then she drove us through town, giving us some of the history. It was a pleasant outing. Tuesday the sun finally started to break through the cloud though the wind still came in gusts over 25 kts we only had fits of sprinkles if that. We watch TV and saw the mess in NJ remembering the places we visited on our way down here.  The Lindsay C  Warren Bridge, a 2.8 mile long bridge over the Alligator river with a clearance of only 15 ft is a draw bridge and it is closed  "until further notice".  They won't open if there is a possibility of 30  mph winds. I did see some crab pots out close to shore but the boats and 'pots' are still on shore.   We are walking around - I am taking pictures, tomorrow we will start putting Cool Hand back to 'normal' and get ready to continue south. 

Thank you - everyone for your prayers and thoughts, Tom and I greatly appreciated them. Keep leaving comments - 
Waiting for warm weather and Fair winds.
