Last day in Rock Sound

We’ve been taking advantage of the quiet, cool, breezy days. Susie gets the idea to polish the stainless parts of our SaltyMare (quite a bit of shiny stuff). While working on the bow, she was visited several times by ballyhoo; often enough that she finally able to “catch” a photo. (Yes, Mom, she took this one!) Well, during the week, the decision was made that the weather will allow us to head to the Exumas early, real early, this (Saturday) morning, so as much as she enjoys polishing stainless, she was pulled away to dining. Yep, dining.

There were a couple of restaurants we wanted to hit in Rock Sound, and now we had only Friday to do so. First up, Frigate’s Bar & Grill for Caesar salad, which rumor said was the best ever. Well, it was fresh and delicious, but it didn’t beat Tres Luna Bar and Kitchen in Hoover, Alabama. Tres Luna, couldn’t, however, hold a candle to the view from Frigate’s…

Earlier in the week, we’d been told by locals we should definitely try the baked macaroni at Wild Orchids, so we stopped for lunch during one of our grocery expeditions only to find its not something they normally carry on the menu. However, the owner, Sybil, said they’d make it for us if we returned. So we made plans for Saturday (explaining about someone’s birthday plans having gone awry due to Covid). Then the weather turned and we knew we needed to head out before dawn Saturday. When we called Sybil to apologize for the plan change, she told us to come on over on Friday. Well, not only was there baked macaroni, but she’d set up a lovely pop-up birthday, complete with decorations, music and cake!
