Day 178 Last Day of the Blow and Sadly Hanging Out With the Kiddos on the Catameran

 








We are still in the Jacksonville area because this northeast wind has been blowing Methuselah into the dock for 5 days straight.  PredictWind app promises lighter winds tomorrow so that we can get off of this dock finally and make some miles north. We took a couple walks with Alli and of course played a few games with the kiddos on the catamaran again. We started out with Mexican Train and Uno and then somehow the kids separated us so that Jessica had to play shoots and ladders and I played chess. But it looked like Jessica secretly liked shoots and ladders from her childhood years. Then one of the kids ran out of fishing line on his rod and reel so I spooled him up with some 15 pound monofilament. Then a couple on a troller had us over from some much-needed adult conversations. 



Jessica, Alli, and Wally.

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.

  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!
