Several boats left the anchorage early this morning so we took the opportunity to reposition into a more favorable (deeper) spot away from the saltmarsh. Once settled, we pulled the dinghy down and headed over the public dinghy dock. We walked to the end of Front Street, passing the old town clock, several grand houses, historic buildings, and new retail. A recommendation from Melissa on Flip Flop led us to the Front Street Grill for nice lunch overlooking Taylor's Creek. A stopover at the visitor's center was next where we picked up some maps and information on several organized tours. We hope to take both a historical tour and a scenic tour before we head north. Today's mission was to get to the post office. That meant a 2.5 mile walk out of town.
It was good to stretch our legs. Since we left the Exumas, our walking has dropped off significantly. Combine that with some long days on the water with little movement and stiff knees have become an issue. It was a gorgeous day and, as usual, the walk back seemed much quicker than the walk out. Colorful signs on light poles and plenty of wildflowers made for a very nice stroll. We returned to Crossroads and relaxed a bit before having dinner ... and a show from another beautiful sunset.
