Still hoping to move to an anchorage, at 8 a.m. we were fogged in! At 10 a.m. conditions were the same. By 11:30 we all decided to do something constructive, so the guys headed up town to the hardware store (where else?) so they could work on the permanent install of the wifi booster. Jan and I walked up to the laundry and managed to hit the Visitor Center and a very nice gift shop in the process.We were happy to find the hors d'oeurve plates we'd been looking for (trying to minimize the paper use that generates so much garbage). By the time we got back, the guys were just finishing their project AND the fog had finally lifted -- hurrah!
So we quickly unplugged, untied and made the 2 mile jaunt across Grand Island Harbor into Murray Bay. What a great spot! We took our time getting both boats set and then deployed the dinghies.

We took a short dinghy cruise in the bay -- we are anchored near the wreck of the Bermuda. She was a 90 ft. wooden schooner that went down in 1870. She lies just 12 feet below the surface and is clearly visible in the crystal clear water of the bay. Kind of eerie!
Then it was back to the boats to prepare for cocktail hour aboard Day Dreams. I made a big bowl of roasted corn and avocado salsa to go along with Jan's cheese, crackers and grapes. After all of that, we didn't need dinner!
Back at Waterford, we were just finishing clean up chores when a text from Jan alerted us to the rising "Super Moon".

Super Moon - What that means is that the Moon will be closer to the Earth than at any other time during the year — in fact, the upcoming Super Moon will be the closest encounter between the Earth and the Moon until August 2014.
