Day 14

 












Jessica and I took a day off from making miles south and stayed anchored at Jekyll Island. As I pumped rainwater out of the dinghy, Jessica did an excellent job driving the dinghy over to the dock.  Then we explored the village by foot and bike   that was a vacation spot for the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers.  Then we toured the sea turtle rescue hospital/museum and absolutely fell in love with these turtles, especially the babies. We spent the evening with our new friends Tim and Carolyn and played Mexican train on their lovely caterman.

    I love that picture of the live oak. They're always so majestic and ethereal. Jessica, you look just like Tinkerbell in that big rocking chair, LOL. So glad you're balancing the ocean and land life.

Day 1

After nine months of planning and preparation, we finally left the dock today. Today is our two year wedding anniversary. Thanks to Chris for surprising us with coffee and donuts in the clubhouse this morning. Paul threw the dock lines on Methuselah, and Debbie and Chris took some pictures as we left Blackbeards. We will celebrate our anniversary on anchor in Beaufort tonight.

  Left this morning from Beaufort with a cool motor down the intercoastal waterway past Swansboro and ended up anchoring in mile hammocks Bay at Camp Lejeune. At times the motoring got a little monotonous so we decided to play with the WebCam and get these    cute pictures.    Tomorrow, the weatherman promised us the sun!

Day 3

  We got a good night sleep despite the gunfire from Camp Lejeune.     We woke up to beautiful sunny skies and we made our way with following winds and tides down to Wrightsville Beach where we met my good buddy Dennis at the dockside restaurant for a late lunch.    Picked up a Mooring ball at Carolina Beach and had a nice stroll on the boardwalk with Allie testing the bark collar….she wore out the battery!    We hope by the time we get to the Bahamas, she will be used to people and dogs in strange towns.
