CHORES-GOT TO DO THEM

April 17-20, 2026

The everyday chores of life don’t go away on a boat. Laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking, bills, etc. are there after a day of boating. I don’t want to be too traditional here, but I (Linda) typically do the laundry, grocery shopping and cooking. I like to cook and enjoy listening to an audio book as I complete tasks. Howie is our route planner and maintenance guy. Bella is the greeter and is darn good at her job. No one can go by the boat without her bringing a squeaky toy out.

We stopped at Myrtle Beach Yacht Club which had a restaurant on premise. The staff was very nice and we had a lovely view from our outside table. The marina was in a pretty commercialized area, so we didn’t go too far away, though there was a nice walking path around the marina and we were able to walk in a small subdivision nearby. So far, one frustration has been that many of the marinas are isolated or near industry.

First time washing a dog on the back of the boat. It was actually pretty enjoyable!
