3-16-10 SE Coast Trip Day 4

Judgement day - we pay the piper for our resort stay. Our timeshare sales pitch was at 9am. It was supposed to last for 90 min and instead lasted for 3 hrs. I had not heard about being offered Marriott points in lieu of using the timeshare, so that was new and enough to keep me intrigued. The guy wrapped up his pitch and rose to leave saying, "Well I'll let you two talk it over" and Sue says "No need. We aren't going to buy today." And except for some whining, that was that.
We spent the rest of the day walking for a short while on another wildlife preserve, Pinkney Island. We saw more alligators but not much else. We then went for a 90 min boat ride (small motor boat, just 6 people) to see oysters on the bank of the channels, birds and dolphins. I got some pictures. My camera is so slow I got a ton of pictures of circular ripples on the water where the dolphin had just been! In one case a sea bird came down and landed right over the dolphin and was "helping" him feed - he followed the dolphin around for several minutes and we could actually anticipate where the dolphin would surface by watching the bird. That was neat.




Dinner was at an expensive so-so sea food place - not impressed! Back to resort for last night in luxury.
