We woke up to a very warm refrigerator. We had put a timer on the refrigerator in an attempt to make the batteries last longer overnight. We ended up using more electricity than before. Good idea that didn't work out too well. We drove into town since we had a few errands to run. Stopped for breakfast and Tom didn't feel well. We ran the rest of the errands and came back to the cg. Tom was getting worse. Spent the rest of the day in camp.

Before we left we were chatting with one of the campground hosts. He has been coming to the Cape since 1958, sometimes family vacation and the last 5-10 years as a volunteer. I asked him where the Post Office was and he gave us directions. Of course there was a story that went with this. He just discovered the Post Office a few weeks ago, saw a USPS truck parked, looked up and saw the Post Office. He had been going past it for many years and never noticed it, drove many miles further to a different Post Office all the time. We had a good laugh.

On our way to shopping a truck passed us going in the other direction, the wind from this truck was massive, blew us all over the lane and then we heard a strange noise coming from the car. Stopped and found that some piece of plastic that protected the undercarraige had broken and the trucks wind ripped it loose. Stopped at a Ford dealer who took our Honda right in, 30 minutes later we were zip tied together again and on our way. Best of all no charge........
