Day 66 Sundowner With New Friends

 




We sailed back to the outskirts of Spanish Wells and anchored beside Pig Beach. Yes there are tons of pigs and piglets and tourist pay money to swim with them. To us they were kind of gross and we had no desire. We did some snorkeling at the nearby reef.  Jessica saw a lion fish and I saw a queen angel fish among many others. When I saw a spiny lobster and I cocked the Hawaiian sling, I realized the tip had fallen off. So no lobster tonight. I made a dinghy run into town and got gas, water, diesel. Jessica did a deep clean down in the cabin and it looks superb. We met up with a couple anchored nearby from Oriental. This is their 20th winter coming here and their last trip. It was such a joy to get to know Jerry and Donna and we soaked up the tips that they have learned along the way.

    Hawaiian sling, well I can't wait to learn what that is all about. I'm glad you're making friends and enjoying their company.

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.

  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!
