Ah, the romance of cruising...

 Now for a glimpse at the REAL cruising life.

We leave Fairview Marina in Pasadena, MD, this coming Tuesday.  As we were fixing lunch this  afternoon it dawned on us that we really need more food...and we've yet to wash clothes (full laundry bag sitting in the "guest room.")  

Food seems more important to us than clean clothes (oh, my, that says a lot about us, doesn't it!)  Now, in the southern states we often find "courtesy cars" that can be signed out for an hour or so with the understanding that we will put some gas in the tank as payment.  We don't find many courtesy cars up here in the northern states.  But!  Covid and Uber have made traveling without transportation a bit easier.  I decided today to order from Walmart here since I was also looking for a few "hardware items."  I placed an order which will be delivered (hopefully) to the marina between 7 and 8 this evening.  l'll need to stay awake 'til it comes...but I think I can manage that.  The charge will be $7.95 for delivery and a tip of $7 to the delivery person when it has been received.  All of this is handled online with a credit card.

Now, as for the laundry issue...the laundry is closed today (one washer, one drier) so tomorrow I plan to start the process as soon as the office opens.

Then there's my addiction to Amazon online ordering for everything.  Marinas will generally accept mail for their "transients", as we're called.  I have an order coming to a marina in Cape May while we're there Thursday and Friday of this week.

Can't say enough good things about this marina.  It's owned and run by a family and they live on the property.  If we lived around here, this is where we'd stay.  So long for now...
