Day 77 beach fire at Governor’s Harbour

 


Moon setting. 






Well, Rock Sound was not hitting on too much, so we decided not even to wait for the shipment of fresh vegetables to be delivered and headed back north to Governors Harbor, as a first step to meet Jason in  a week.  I changed the oil in the diesel engine, transmission, and Honda generator. I finally got the battery charger configuration set to get a 100% charge which had been 40 days….the refrigerator and Starlink Internet service are our biggest energy hogs. Now we are all set for keeping the batteries topped off every day with the generator. We collected some water from the town spicket and Jessica cleaned some conch shells with a wire brush that we had found. We have found that the queen conch shells are absolutely beautiful for a couple weeks, but then you need to keep them out of the sun to prevent bleaching of the bright pink, white, and red colors. Then we made a fire on the beach and reminisced about our trip so far. We both agree that this been is an adventure of a lifetime that we will never forget. So thankful for our health, safety, and everything is working well on the boat.

    Another beautiful day, and sunset! Ali, looks great, as do both of you. I think this pace agrees with you.

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!
