Day 99 Day 2 of Cold Front Windy Period

 



Filling propane bottles for cooking.
Conch salad.


Today was day number two of the cold front blow. It is super windy but temperatures still in the low 70s. We are hunkered down behind a cay, so we are doing just fine with the small waves, and there is good anchor holding here so no worries about dragging (but I still have an anchor alarm turned on!).  We made conch salad for lunch from our recent conch gathering snorkel.  After being cooped up on the boat without being able to do any snorkeling today, Jessica and I donned our foul weather gear and walked the beach for an hour to stretch our legs. We cleaned out the refrigerator and cleaned around in the cabin in preparation for Jessica’s sister Noelle coming tomorrow.

    We're preparing for quite the cold front too here on the home front. Supposed to be a big ice storm this weekend. We will not be dawning any outdoor gear and going for a walk except to take care of the chickens and check on the greenhouse. I hope Noelle arrives safely.

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!
