Day 28

 





We are held up In Stuart waiting on a weather window to cross over to the Bahamas. Jessica took the opportunity today and did some laundry. I changed the oil in the diesel engine and the Honda generator. We took a nice slow dinghy ride through Manatee pocket. We attempted to buy a bag of ice from the marina, but they were closed so the bartender next-door gave us a few scoops of ice in a grocery bag so we could make pina coladas on Methuselah. We also went for a walk in the neighborhood this evening with Alli and saw some chickens in a tree….first time for everything.  And we played a game of Wheel of Fortune, and as usual Jessica won with no missed letters. The highlight of the day was making dinner together with Campbell Soup cream of mushroom soup along with some chicken and rice, it was a 10. Absolutely delicious. And Mom, this time I did not make Jessica pick out the mushrooms from the cream of mushroom soup. Ha ha.

    I’ve enjoyed reading all of your posts and am so looking forward to getting further south.
    We left NB on Wednesday and arrived to Georgetown, SC today had some fantastic weather along the way.
    Tonight is a different story. Windy and cold.
    Hope your weather window to cross comes soon. Fair winds,
    Michele and Glenn

    Alli looks like she’s walking pretty good. 😊

    Well dear friends, sometimes a leisure pace can be slowed down even more. Enjoy

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.

Day 2

  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.
