Hunting Island Day 4

Thursday September 26 Hunting Island Day 4


Woke up to an overcast day.  Cooler temperatures for sure but they did not last long as by 10 the cloud cover was gone.  Finished my book after cooking pancakes for breakfast.  Our activities for the morning were Ben wanted to go swimming and Jane wanted to try again to post the blog.  We have enough internet in campsite as we are within sight of the store where the internet is located.  Not enough internet to post the blog.  The other problem is the bright light causing trouble with seeing the screen.  Ben made it to the ocean and had a brief swim – very cold he reports. A wave knocked him down and he had trouble getting up but finally made it back to shore!  

I spent an hour trying to post the blog and finally gave up.  Have the photos and the written text but just can’t manage to get it posted.  Today was as hot and muggy as yesterday so we did not do much exploring or beach activities in the afternoon - the heat and humidity really take it out of you! We did plan ahead and brought lots of good books on our kindles so enjoy being close enough to see the ocean through the trees and escape into the cool when needed.  Relaxing if not exciting!

Tonight we headed to the Foolish Frog for dinner - it is in Frogmore a small community about 8 miles back from the shore. Jane had shrimp and Ben had crab cakes - both very good.  



When we got back to camp we walked on the beach a while.  Interesting how different it is high tide from low tide.  The surf is probably only 50 yards from the road at high tide - and maybe 100 or more yards further out at low tide.      



Another quiet night.
