Wednesday, January 27, 2021: Near dawn, we snapped a picture of the world outside. We really enjoyed sleeping with the back windows open. |
|
Then we fell right back asleep for another two hours. |
|
It was an overcast day, so we didn't hold out much hope that there would be a launch. |
|
But with no neighbors on either side of us, we looked forward to another leisurely day. |
|
We harvested the last of Annette Fungicello to add to our freeze-dried breakfast scramble. |
|
The high winds the night before had left a gap in our back door, ... |
|
... so Tom spent some time getting that worked out. He's handy. |
|
Next, it was time to empty the cassette toilet. Yep, that's it. A small plastic briefcase that empties right into the RV dump site. |
|
We ordered lunch to go from the onsite restaurant and walked over to pick it up. |
|
We took a look out over the water. What's this? |
|
Can we actually be seeing the SpaceX headquarters across the water? |
|
Yesssss! And there's the top of Starship SN9! |
|
As an added bonus, we found another sand castle near the restaurant. |
|
Tom braved the masses inside to get our food and we headed back to our little utopia to eat it. |
|
Mmmmm, delicious deep-fried seafood, washed down with ice-cold Crystal Light! |
|
By the middle of the afternoon, the clouds were moving away, ... |
|
... and we were the only ones in our entire five-spot section of the park! |
|
We made a quick trip to the RV dump site to empty our gray water tank, ... |
|
... then went to the KOA office to extend our stay one more day. We checked out the view while we were there, then Debbie got a text from Jill that she needed to get on her computer to answer, so we headed back. |
|
Soon, it was cocktail hour featuring Crystal Light and a miniature bottle of rum from a long ago vacation. |
|
Near sunset, we headed out ... |
|
... and walked down to the dock to enjoy it. |
|
There's Debbie ... |
|
... and there's Tom. |
|
Ooooh, pretty. |
|
Meanwhile, the nearly-full moon was coming up. |
|
Beautiful, isn't it? |
|
Dinner this evening was a little strange - we made a cup of instant mac & cheese, and combined it with cubed ham we brought from home plus a container of mac & cheese from Black-eyed Pea. |
|
Add some powdered milk and you have a satisfying meal! |
|
Movie night's feature was "Cold Comfort Farm," another long-time favorite of ours. |
|
As we got ready for bed, the moon was shining through the skylight, ... |
|
... and the lights along the shore lit up the night.
Day 7 > |
