The marina at Belhaven was memorable for many reasons. Brenda and Les bought the place 6 years ago and have been adding their special touches ever since. The men's bathroom was decorated with paraphenalia collected from WW2 by Bernard Roth, a navy guy and amateur photographer. It included a 'Dear John' letter (to Bernie from Connie, who said her mother was right, she was too immature to make such a committment, and he should keep the ring she gave him as she never wanted to see it again), a Stars and Stripes newspaper with an article about Marlene Dietrich and her million dollar legs, and lots of pictures and paperwork from his travels. There was a lovely little garden area, a porch with rocking chairs, and a large gazebo where Duffy and Russ treated us to a great spaghetti dinner and we watched an amazingly beautiful sunset.
Alligator River Marina was where several "Loopers" met up and there was a 5 pm 'docktail' party to celebrate everyone's safe arrival (actually I made that up...we didn't need an excuse).
Today the temperature dropped 20 degrees and we're 'holing up' for awhile. I had Duffy and Sheryl over for a lunch and "girl time ". I helped them make cards out of my scrapbooking stuff.
