Counting down from 10...

Wednesday, September 2nd:

Happy Birthday, Alex!

We're in Beaufort, NC. To catch you up, yesterday we were in Ocracoke still. layover day. They're the best. Alice and I walked down the main road where all the little shops are, couldn't get a very good view of the Ocracoke lighthouse, but Barry was able to get a picture:

Later, I walked to the Ocracoke Coffee Co.- a very cool coffee shop with free wireless. (and yet I'm still behind on these things... I don't know how this happens!)


We left early this morning and got knocked around for a good while until we got to the Neuse River. You remember the Neuse River- it was where we saw that awesome green and pink house... well, lo and behold, it was still there! ...but the matching boat was gone.If you missed out on the pictures including the boat, take a look at a previous post entitled "anchorless"- you're in for a treat.

We're in Beaufort. I said that already, just tryin to catch you up. We got in earlier than expected- had the boat rinsed off by 2. The weather is awesome, pleasant even.

Lookin forward to seein yard art tomorrow... if you missed out on the pictures from the trip up, they're on the post "thrustless".

Happy Wednesday!
:D

Pictures today!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BARRY AND ALICE!

This morning, we left Roanoke Island, and once we got out into the channel, we heard a familiar sound- dolphins playin in our wake! I got some mediocre pictures!



Later, we got to see the Bodie Island lighthouse… lit up!

It wasn’t a very long day- we got to Ocracoke and were tied off by 1! And came through a pretty solid thunderstorm. way cool lightning.

This is a real island- no way to get here except by boat. The ferries come in right next to where we’re docked. This is a pretty cool place to spend 2 days. Tomorrow, I’m goin swimming! The pool is right at the end of our dock!

That’s all for today. Later dudes.





Do what you like. Like what you do.
