Day 174 Celebrating Easter at a Famous Church, and new friends in Jacksonville

 

New friends even though they are on a troller, not a sailboat, we got along just fine. Ha ha. 
Engine room! 



Jessica and I started the day out by attending Easter morning church service at the Presbyterian Church that was erected by the infamous Henry Flagler.  The stained glass windows, golden artwork, and beautiful wood and musical instruments was  a really special way to worship God on Easter morning.  We sailed north on the intercoastal waterway and ended up on the outskirts of Jacksonville on a dock that has  four trollers docked here. Three of the four couples are from Oriental and Beaufort, which is only 20 miles from New Bern. They had us over for hors d’oeuvres and we had some good conversation about local places back home. We are hunkering down for three days of windy and wet weather. So glad to be with my soulmate during this time.

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.

  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!
