Mount Pleasant Magazine Sept/Oct 2019

183 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestofMP.com to start one of the five loads of laundry produced today. I head up to the dock office to fill out the paperwork and pay for the dockage and fuel. Now I spend about an hour updating my log and tracking down the rental car. At 6:00 in the evening, the guests are returning to get ready for dinner out. I give them the reservation information and the keys to the rental car and head to my cabin for a moment. My mate is now playing bartender as I do more laundry. When the guests leave, we vacuum and dust the boat. With the boat squared away for the night, my mate emerges from below with a couple of sandwiches and chips. We sit on the back deck watching the sun set at 8:40 p.m. I will get a few pictures and post them on Facebook just to keep in contact with my friends and family. So the day is done. Well, not the day’s work — just the daylight hours. It’s now time to shower and wash our uniforms. At 10:00 p.m., I am finishing ironing my white uniform shirts as the guests return from dinner. They laughingly ask how we enjoyed the night off since they weren’t aboard that night. My mate and I smile and reply we just took it easy and got a few things done around the boat. feature Leslie Jackson, MSS, CP 843-746-9404 LJackson@AssistedLivingLocators.com What Type of Housing or Care Do I Need?
