Some snipped

set off for shore. Along the way we saw a catamaran which had just
anchored. He looked like a local, so we diverted to his side and
chatted him up about where we might put ashore.

He advised a location which we found with no difficulty, and nearly
immediately afterward, as we were still tying up, he zoomed in on his
dinghy, with his dog riding up front. We waved and set out walking
toward Snook's, a popular local restaurant, Steve having been familiar
with the area from having visited many times in his boat.

No sooner do we get to the main drag's corner, and turn onto the
walkway, but here comes that sailor in a pickup truck and offers us a
ride to the restaurant. As it was two miles away, that was a welcome
surprise. However, like nearly everywhere else we've been, we
continually are surrounded with the kindness of strangers. Likely,
we'll never see him again, but I'm sure there was no hesitation in his
mind that we should ride with him!
