Day 182 We are in Beaufort, SC, not Beaufort NC

 




Well, we stayed on the dock from the crab shack restaurant overnight and woke up to about 10,000 no-seeums in the cockpit, so we threw the dock lines on the boat and took off in a hurry. We had a lovely sail for a half day beside Hilton Head and the Beaufort River. We picked up a mooring ball and Jessica went shopping in the boutiques on the riverfront while I changed the oil in the diesel engine. We ended the daylight hours with a nice stroll through the historic antebellum style homes on the riverfront. Looking forward to seeing my aunt and uncle Debbie and Ray tomorrow since they live here in Beaufort, South Carolina. Debbie and Ray inspired me to get involved in sailing about 40 years ago. They sailed to the Bahamas numerous times so we are looking forward to sharing stories tomorrow.

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!
