Day 132 Snorkeling Off the Map.

 










Look close, you can see the Puffer fish.






Made our way back to Staniel Cay today. With a windy spell coming in tomorrow, we decided to snorkel today, but this time we picked a location that was not even on the charts. It was on the east side of the cays, and today was an unusual day with a west wind so we were able to snorkel on the ocean side in the protected waters.It paid dividends because Jessica and I found a really neat rock wall drop off with lots of brain coral and fan coral. Jessica found an interesting puffer fish that intrigued her. Jessica is getting really good at holding her breath and diving down to get a closer look at fish and reefs. Jessica is also really good at zippering up her own wetsuit, which is in the back. Me, however, I always struggle with zipping it up, and today when I asked Jessica to help me, we realized that I had my wet suit on inside out. We decided to keep it inside out knowing that next time I took it off it would be right side out. Ha ha.

    Oh dear Scott, the simple joys of living your life. Yes, if you wear something inside out and take it off it will be right side in, or I mean right side out... The things we ponder., 🤔

    Jessica, you are becoming a natural in the water. I thought I was part mermaid, not anymore. I stand amazed at how you've become acclimated to this life.

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!
