We rented a car for 24 hours as we both had dental cleanings scheduled and the dentist was a bit of a ride up toward the top of Marathon. Having the car also gave us the opportunity to ride around a little. We had dinner with friends Rob and Kelly White. They are at White Marlin Marina this winter which is also here in Marathon. We met them last winter (2017-2018). We were all in the same marina in Palm Coast. They are Tar Heel fans and also like sushi. So all 4 of us met at Castaway's for a great sushi dinner.
Keith and I had the Sushi Boat for two
The next morning before we returned the rental car, Keith and I drove north for brunch. We stopped at this local place and it was quite the experience. Apparently The Wooden Spoon is a Marathon landmark.

We also had to go into Marathon Bagels per recommendations from friends. We took home breakfast for the next several days.

Our boat neighbors Cindy and Peter Baurer are great people. I had mentioned to Cindy how much I liked a shark tooth fossil necklace that she wears. It turns out one of her friends, Ronda, makes them. Cindy invited me to come over to meet Ronda when she was visiting. I took one of my own shark's tooth and Ronda made a pendant I can put on a chain. I am soooooooooo excited to have my own shark tooth necklace. Now I feel like a really cool boater.

I have also been doing a good bit of sewing on the side. I made several small projects to leave with friends in Ocracoke for the fireman's auction in May. I will try to get some pictures of the projects once the finishing touches have been put on them.
