August 11th

Anchored near Marion, hopefully protected from the strong west wind this afternoon.

We went to town during the strongest wind part:)

Beautiful homes, some dating from the 1790s, large streets with tall trees..and landscaping to match. We stopped for a large shared ice-cream and visited the Natural History museum over the library. Old fashion 19th wood case display, with samples of local minerals and birds.

Restful night as the wind died down.
