Day 110 busy day in Brunswick, GA

We set off at 8:15 am on the electric scooters for a 2 mile trip to West Marine and Winn Dixie Grocery. At West we got a new switch for the aft bilge pump. We had diagnosed the problem yesterday (switch and pump are separate). Then a "few" groceries for the boat. When we got back, we went next door to the weekly Farmer's Market on the waterfront next to the marina.

The market was in a covered picnic area (first picture). Also, there was quite a pretty reproduction lighthouse next to the market.

There was also a large model of a Liberty Ship, which serves as a memorial to the 16,000 men and women who built 99 of these in Brunswick during WW II. After returning to Lucky Us, I went back to bed, but before she could join me, the Admiral got a call that her new glasses were ready. Lucky me! - she went and picked up the new glasses while I slept!

At Noon it was time to change into our TAMU maroon shirts and get ready to watch the Aggies play Rice on ESPN. The aTm flag proudly flies from the radar mast (just below the Texas state flag). Yes, we are hooked up to cable at this marina, and in case you've forgotten, we have both 32" and 24" digital TVs on Lucky Us. Aggies won 52-31. Whoop! After the game we walked two blocks to the restored historic main street for dinner

Both on the way to dinner and on a different route on the way back, we passed two local theaters, and both of them had (live) plays tonight. We chose the "Boeing Boeing" production at the Brunswick Arts Theater. For local theater, this was an excellent production. Here we are pictured in the lobby during one of the two (short) intermissions.

Well, it was a long, busy but FUN day, and oh yes, did I mention that the Aggies won!!! (ha, ha)
