Hunting Island Day 3

Wednesday September 25 Hunting Island Day 3

This morning it is muggy since there is not much breeze.  The shade here is great for breakfast and supper, but not so much middle of the day. After checking the weather until Thursday there is no rain in sight so we are not putting up the shade tent for the table.  It does give some shade but cuts off the breeze so just did not seem worth the effort. The Sprinter gives us shade until about 1:30 and that is when we make plans to go somewhere.  Plan for today is eat lunch at Shrimp Shack – go fishing in surf and walk on beach or build in sand. Then showers and head back towards the mainland for supper.  Jane has a break from cooking for the day.

 We have decided to head to Savannah for Friday and Saturday nights and stay in a hotel.  We remembered a good restaurant we had wanted to return to – but in checking back it was in 2010 so we will need to check recent reviews!  Should be enough of interest there to keep us busy for a couple days.  Maybe we will drive down the local roads instead of interstate- stopping in Hilton Head just to see what folks like so much about it.   It is now evening and all is confirmed for hotel in Savannah.  However Johnny Harris is no more – sold out and opened as a different BBQ place.  The old architecture was what we remembered - as well the good food.  They evidently sold out the old building for location location location and a shopping mall of some sort went up in its place.  Oh well – sometimes you really can’t go back! 

We drove across the bridge to Shrimp Shack.  It was much as described on Trip Advisor – pay cash, order at window and pick up your food to eat inside screened area or outside under the trees.  We were expecting this super fantastic shrimp burger from all the reviews.  Well it was lots of  chopped shrimp in a pattie on a bun.  Tasteless shrimp on a soggy bun.  We ordered the large one and split it and that was plenty for us.  The fries were fine – and the tea with ice was fantastic!  We will not however be going back for another shrimp burger. 

It was showing 96 on thermometers and no breeze at all.  We chose to take a siesta in the air conditioned sprinter instead of going to the beach…it was just too hot.  Ben actually took a nap and Jane read a book.   Later in the afternoon we took showers and headed back to Lady’s Island to Dockside for dinner.  Parking Lot was full but we were seated right away. We both had scallops – Ben scallops picatta and Jane lightly breaded and fried.  They were some of the best tender sweet scallops either of us remembers.  It was a struggle but Jane managed to eat all 12 of the scallops.  The fries were great but did not eat many since the scallops were better! Nice service and great views of the marina too.

Drove back to camp and watched a Spencer for Hire movie.  Today was definitely a do nothing day!  From the photos it looks like all we did today was eat!
