Day 121 Hike With A Surprise

 



Look for the snake above. 














Today we had an urge to go on a longer hike. We hiked up the hill to the monument and had a spectacular view and mountain-top-high feeling when we came out of the forest.  The trail meandered down to the beach, but not before almost stepping on a snake. We heard there were no snakes in the Exuma’s, so now we know they’re actually are. See if you can see the snake in the picture…… super camouflaged. We took the dinghy over to peace and plenty restaurant on the beach for lunch. We started with an appetizer of chicken wings, but they came with french fries so we made it our lunch instead of ordering mahi tacos.  My aunt Debbie and uncle Ray went there 40 years ago and I believe it is still the same shack/bar. Jessica and Alli went to the beach and walked some more and Jessica wrote in her journal. I took the dinghy into Georgetown and bought some gasoline for the dinghy and generator, ice for a special mixed cocktail drink tonight, and some fresh veggies for our dinner salad. We ended the day at the beach bar, with a fun game of cornhole….and yes, Jessica is good at this game!

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!
