Out to Lunch

Even warmer today, 60°F at wake up time, rising to 72°F. 72°F is a critical temperature at which point jeans are replaced by shorts!

Lyn cleaned out the truck while I did some more work on the roof vents. Unfortunately for Lyn I needed a second person inside the trailer to help at times so the truck cleaning took a little longer than it should have.

As a reward for all this work it was decided that a seafood lunch was in order, so we headed out to a place about 20 miles away close to the Florida border,

Once seated at the table a visitor arrived and stayed close by for the rest of our meal.

As we were leaving after a delicious lunch of shrimp and scallops we saw a very large 2 barge combo on the canal behind the restaurant.

The blue objects in the barges appeared to be huge tanks, with the whole lot being pushed from behind. The canal is part of the intra-coastal waterway, which is a sheltered waterway  running down the eastern seaboard of the US from New Jersey, as it enters Florida  it then heads west along waterways just north of the Gulf of Mexico to Southern Texas.

We stopped at a few stores on the way home  where Lyn managed to pick up some craft supplies, and I picked up a stainless steel nut to replace the one that committed suicide by jumping off the trailer roof this morning.

Back at the campsite we spotted some more wildlife in the grass just outside the trailer

This particular creature was a rare wooly croc, who apparently also enjoyed a large lunch.

Guess who is into toy making!
