A bit delayed report on our stop at Melbourne last week. On Sunday we attended the Melbourne Baptist Church and were treated like long lost family. Joan made a call to see if they had bus service .... doesn't every 1st Baptist church. To our delight we were picked up close to the boat. After the service Bob and Betty Pisle (see picture) took us to lunch where we were treated to the best steak this side of the Mississippi ... maybe even the other side too.
Tony Kessinger, the Sunday School teacher and author has written a book titled "Come out of her my people: The encouragement and exhortation of the book of Revelation Chapters 1-3" He is a gifted teacher so know his book will be worth reading. Plan to start this week.
Monday morning Jack and Marge Salmela came by to see the boat and Marge took Joan to the grocery store to pick up all those heavy things that are hard to carry on bikes. She even got to JoAnn's Fabrics for some much needed velcro to finish off the mosquito netting (Fran where are you when I need you). Larry and Jack stayed aboard swaping tool stories ... exciting stuff.
We found a darling little breakfast spot and found it very handy each morning. It was the old railroad depot so had lots of history. All and all Melbourne was a super cinnamon roll. Melbourne really marked the beginning of our cruise as we transitioned from getting around Florida to stopping along the way to smell the roses or perhaps we should say "Cinnnamon rolls"
