Very nice day here on Kelleys Island.....we checked out the "Shirley Irene" (ferry for cars/people) that goes back and forth from Marblehead. Our friend, Brad who works at Superior Marine also is working for the Miller Ferry Co., and was going to be on the ferry (every 45 minutes it comes into Kelleys); thought we would see him and wave, but no luck at 9 this morning. Brad is training to be a Captain.
Shirley Irene and "Brad" somewhere? leaving the dock!
Walked downtown and had breakfast (French toast for Mark and Avocado toast for me - yum, plus a cinnamon/vanilla latte for me) at The Island House and had Edie as our waitress again today, Edie told us more about the damage to her parents/grandparents homes and cars in Naples from the hurricane. She is such a pretty girl but has a nasty black eye - 2 weeks ago wakeboarding accident - ugh!
Very good avocado toast and
Mark's cinnamon French toast with strawberries/blueberries (no pic)
Rented a golf cart from the General Store and set off to see the island. Less fewer people than yesterday when the golf carts were almost all rented out. First stop was the Glacial Grooves (we were here last summer with Marilyn, Mark's sister). The area was all fenced off cause of construction and making it handicapped accessible, so we were not able to show Marilyn. But now it's finished and very very nicely done.
We had the cart for 2 hours and drove past the airport, 4-H Camp, beautiful quarry and all over the island. I love these island rides!

One of my favorite homes on the island

Another lovely older home well maintained with gorgeous flowers
Last night's zoom session brought up the topic about many of the restaurants charging 3-4% extra for using credit cards.....
Nice to see this at The Village Pump (#1 on Kelleys)!
After we returned the golf cart, we enjoyed a little retail therapy - Mark got 2 T-shirts and I bought a sweatshirt and some cards. Walked back to the boat and enjoyed some
R 'n R. Round-trip is 5,000 steps!
We hoped to catch Brad on the 4:00 ferry and we did - saw him maneuver and lower the gangplank to let all the vehicles off.

Bye to Brad and we'll see him tomorrow at his other job - Superior Marine when we return to Port Clinton,
Onto a late lunch/early dinner at Docker's on the water - 1st time here and excellent - Mark had the crabcakes and I had chicken cordon bleu on a pretzel roll.
Walked back to Catrina and called it a day - lots of fresh air/sunshine today + 11,789 steps.
Bye bye July......welcome August!
