Day 56 arrival at Little Harbor

 



Today we woke up at the backside of marsh Harbor at mermaid reef and decided to go for a snorkel before setting sale. Jessica and I saw lots of beautiful fish and I was able to harvest two lobsters. One was borderline being legal, and the other one was a monster.  We we tried to split the big lobster tail half-and-half, but we could not finish it at dinner.  Then we had a rare circumstance in which the wind was in our favor and we could actually do some sailing without the motor to reach pelican cay land and Sea Park. We had a fabulous snorkel where we had been about a week ago, but this time there were no eagle rays, sharks, or turtles. But we did see a stingray a moray eel, and lots of parrot fish. Then we made our way to Little Harbor, where we are awaiting a weather window to make the 12 hour  passage in open ocean to Spanish Wells.

    Scott and Jessica thanks for sharing your journey! What an incredible voyage so far. Love the fact that you caught a monster lobster and had a feast from your catch! That’s as fresh as it gets! Safe travels for the remainder of your journey. Look forward to seeing your future posts. Robin

    Catching monsters at sea... You're giving Captain Ahab a run for his money. Lobster it's your new hamburger. It's definitely cheaper. As I paid $8 for a pound of 85% lean yesterday. I'm glad you both got some authentic sailing in amongst all your adventures. And I'm wondering if your GoPros are working, I like to see some underwater pics or videos.

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 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.

  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!
