We stayed at the dock in St. Augustine for one more night.  We needed someone to check a refrigeration system.  We waited until about noon. The company that was suppose to get someone kept telling us he was late for work.  I guess they are on Island time. Finally we called and told them we were going to get a bite to eat and call if the man ever comes to work. We ate lunch at Scarlett O’Hara’s, another good meal. George got to shop a little and bought his first Panama Hat.  Now at all those outdoor weddings we will not be hunting a tree to stand under. After lunch we found out that the man they wanted us to use was in the hospital with his wife.  We call another company that George has done some business with in the past.  In fact he was on first name basis with the lady in the office.  He said Jack introduced her to him on one of the trips.  Jack is the Captain of S. V. Martini which will be joining us in the Bahamas later this month. She was very helpful and got us another person and he showed up within the hour.  He was helpful and solved our problem.  It is good to know people in high places. 

John and Carolyn were with us on our shopping trip. In fact, when John and Carolyn approved of the hat, the sale was made.  I shopped around with John and Carolyn while George went back to the boat to help Ed, the refrigerator guy.  We meet up with John B and Jan so we all had a drink on Celebration as Ed was finishing up.  Where to eat that night was not a problem to agree on.  The Columbian Restaurant was everyone choice.  The only problem George and I had fully intended to have the flan for dessert.  It didn’t happen.
