Day 67 grocery run, and last day at Spanish Wells

 





Jessica and I made a grocery run today. We stopped by the liquor store on the way, and they happen to deliver liquor. So instead of delivering our beer and rum, the driver took us to the grocery store, then back to the dinghy after our shopping.  He was super friendly and excited to hear about our trip. As a matter of fact, almost everyone in the Bahamas are super, super friendly.  We also topped off our freshwater tanks with our 5 gallon  Jherry cans. Jessica had a good talk with Wanda on the telephone, and I made a snorkel swim to the nearby reef. No lobsters or conch and I am suspecting it is because of the popular swimming with the pigs thing/snorkeling/lobstering business that the locals do on this island.  Every day we are in awe of God’s creation on this Earth!

    Beautiful picture of dusk....just incredible. Everyone seems so laid back and easy going...you guys must fit right in. I did the last grocery run before Christmas today ... The traffic and stores are so congested. No place to park...lines of grumpy people. I did buy a turkey today to have when you all get back ..and it cost less than a pound of ground beef!

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 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.

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!
