Day 126 An Adventure to Find Ice Cream

 













Combining dog food amount with elementary fractions.

This morning on the VHF announcements, we learned that the local bank ran out of money today,… only in the Bahamas. Good thing we brought enough cash with us! I made a run to the grocery store, and Jessica and I calculated how much more dog food we needed. So we took a picture of the cute sketch that we made where we had to compare fractions to determine how much dog food we needed to last until we make it to Florida. Alli is good, we brought enough!Around midday, the clouds lifted, so we decided to take the dinghy for some exploring and ended up at a beautiful beach that supposedly had tamed turtles that you could feed lettuce from your hand. Therefore, we got the lettuce out of our refrigerator and brought it to the beach. We never did find any turtles, but we looked on the Google map and found that there was a nearby ice cream place. Once again, in true. Bohemian style, they had one flavor in stock, vanilla and fudge swirl. We had not had ice cream for a long time, so it was absolutely delicious. We did our evening walk on the beach with Alli, and watched the sun go down on the bow. Tomorrow, we are looking forward to making a campfire and grilling hot dogs on the beach with our Blackbeard friends that are here in George Town.

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.

  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!
