We had an awesome trip down to Carolina Beach. Calm seas. WOT for most of the way. We blew right past our original destination (Wrightsville Beach) and came all the way to Carolina Beach, where my niece Amanda lives. About 100 miles for the day.
Then last evening, as I was waiting to meet Amanda for dinner, I was hit with a fever and chills. I mean my teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
A few days ago, in Belhaven, I felt very tired / exhausted. My joints ached, my legs were weak, and I had trouble lifting my arms above my head. I realized was dehydrated, so I drank about 60 ounces af water and the symptoms dissipated.
But fever and chills, Whoa. That requires a different diagnosis. That is not dehydration.
So today I’m going for a rapid-response Covid test.
In the meantime, I’m self-medicating:
– Tylenol to knock my fever down
– Zinc
– Vitamin C
– and I’m drinking lots of fluids
Stay tuned.

Not good Rod, but hopefully your illness is from too much shell fish and not the COVID. We hope your test results are negative and that you can enjoy your visit with your niece. We’ll be thinking of you and Guinness. Take care and, as they say now, be safe. Don & Helene.
