Delightful Diversion

We are starting to meet some locals now which is good, Mommy was starting to feel a little isolated! The people here are very warm and outgoing, more than happy to show a stranger around and share their beautiful little piece of Georgia with others.

One of these is a wonderful lady we met a few days ago by the name of Miss Nancy who came by to see if we wanted to go see all the interesting goodies her husband John had just brought in from fishing that afternoon. She said that he brought in some fish and crab and shrimp even so we hurried down to check it out.
Miss Nancy showed Fletcher around their boat for a little while before Fletcher got a little concerned about either a.) the fact that it was moving or b.) I was not in the boat with him or c.) some combination of those two things ;0)
The gentlemen said that they had seen a mink looking to make a meal out of their hard earned catch and sure enough we got to see him as well! I've never seen a mink in the wild, and I was cautioned to give him a wide bearth...apparently they are kind of cranky critters.
Miss Nancy and Mister John's dock - you can see the mink on the walkway looking for food!
I'm not sure what he found, but he was most insistent :) So between the crabs, shrimp, fish, seagulls and pelicans we had a fun little outing, thank you Miss Nancy!
