We woke up to a cloudy day and about 10°C. After breakfast Lyn headed up to Johnny’s, the campground we stayed at last year, as there was a crafts sale up there. While she was away I decided to tackle an electrical project that I had been putting off for a while.
We are leaving the trailer at the resort this year, and the staff here will move the trailer into storage and then put it back on the site when we return in October. To allow them to do this the battery needs to remain connected so that the legs at the front of the trailer can be raised and lowered. The problem is that there are a number of things in the trailer that will slowly drain the battery if it is left connected. I installed a disconnect switch on the battery that would allow me to disconnect all circuits except for the motor that drives the legs.
Lyn came back from the crafts sales, after making a few stops on the way at charity stores / thrift stores. Let’s just say that she didn’t come back empty handed.
After lunch we headed out to…….. an Arts (and crafts) Fair down at Orange Beach. We had been there a couple of years ago and decided it warranted another visit. Again we didn’t come back empty handed.
We headed back to the resort along the edge of a canal, the canal forms part of the intra-coastal waterway. This waterway stretches from New Jersey down the east coast and across the Gulf of Mexico to Texas. It runs through canals, small bays and behind barrier islands to provide safe passage for smaller boats, and as we saw today, barges. In this case it was a boat pushing 4 barges of coal.
We also looked for two caches on the way home, unfortunately we only found one. We must be losing our touch. At least the temperature is on the up, we hit 19°C.
