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! more snipped Skip Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !
