Thanksgiving Day

Warm wishes from us on board Lady Erica for this special day.
We all have a lot to be thankful to God for what we have been given.
Another beautiful day in the South here in Beaufort. I decided to buy a toaster so we could do Eggs Wheatley this morning for breakfast. Basically it is poached eggs on toasted Engilsh muffins with Vegemite and freshly sliced tomatoes. We decided for lunch we would partake of the generous offer of the St Helena Episcopal Church to have their free Thanksgiving dinner. This is something they provide for the people of Beaufort and no you don't have to be homeless or destitute to qualify! A small donation will do if you want to do so. Many of the boaters decided to partake also. Lovely turkey dinner plus trimmings and tons of desserts. we were served at the table by the parishioners,truly a thoughtful Christian outreach . Afterwards we explored the old church ground the grave yard with many old gravestones from the civil war and some flying Confererate flags.Spent a lazy afternoon and usual drinks when the sun was setting.
