I biked the five miles to Hilton Head Hospital yesterday and received my first COVID vaccine shot. Along the way I passed a neighbor. He was on the far side of the road and pond. Carol and I have seen him several times. Once when we passed he was not visible and a school outing was being held on the grass.
Although it was a lovely day for it I was seemingly the only one to bike for a shot. There were no other bicycles in sight. Not even a bike rack. I don’t suppose many people do bike to hospitals.
The annual tree trimming also took place yesterday. A small crane was maneuvered behind the buildings and a man with a chain saw went up in the basket and seriously cut off branches. We no longer have Spanish Moss within arm’s reach of our deck. We do have a clearer view of the marina and Skull Creek which is nice. I don’t what the squirrels think about this.
A comment that I find amusing was made about the My Seventh Circumnavigation/6 video.
2 and 1/2 pounds. Good Lord! Definitely quite (sic) listening to your doctor. That is nothing.
To which I replied:
You may not know that I am 6’1” and weigh 153 pounds and do not need or seek to lose weight. I mentioned it because it was unusual and seemed odd after so brief and easy a time on the boat.
For real weight loss I recommend drifting for two weeks and three hundred miles in a 9’ inflatable dinghy, living mostly on six sips of water and half a can of tuna fish a day. When I reached land I weighed 127 pounds.

That’s some intense weight loss. I’ve only know fighters to lose that kind of weight, but they do it for fame and money
