HOME. What is about about an overcast, cold December day that makes the mind wonder? Is it warm memories of a tropical paradise with white sand and infinite aqua water? Maybe its the reflections of a snow capped mountain off a glacier fed lake in a national park. Right now for me, its being at home looking at photos of this past years adventures. Charging my batteries for the year to come by just surrounding myself with friends, family, and cold beer to put us in a Carolina state of mind. Bring on next year. [View Full Entry]

Apparently we're just not the daily blog type of folks. This is no surprise to me because my journals sometimes skip months or years. Frank says he hasn't started yet. Perhaps we've been too busy getting about, with not much time to reflect. For years my photos were called 'mood' pictures because I only got the camera out when it was too rainy or foggy to do anything else. Hopefully this has changed a bit but I notice that most of the pics are BLUE. Our last blog was at Mile Hammock Bay. So we now miraculously reappear at the lovely, [View Full Entry]

No, you won't find the 'Lat' and 'Long' for that town, as far as I know. This is us playing 'catch-up' in Moorhead City, North Carolina. We are bulging with experiences and it's hard to know where/when/how to find time to share on our blog. But we do know from past experience that happy hour is NOT a good time; it plays havoc with our spelling and turns 'friends' into 'fried fiends'. Today we are sitting out a small forecasted blow in Moorhead City, North Carolina (west of Cape Lookout, south of Cape Hatteras and north of Cape Fear... sounds like [View Full Entry]

Good day to all, We are currently sitting in Beaufort North Carolina, Since we last wrote to you, we left Sandwich MA and have sailed all the way to Cape May. NJ, via New York, then down to Cape May NJ, up the Delaware and down the Chesapeake and to Beaufort via the ICW . When leaving Sandwich, the timing for passing through the canal must be properly timed since there are very strong currents pushing (or pulling) you through. Once you come to the end of the canal, into Buzzards Bay, you must ensure the weather is in your [View Full Entry]

Suposed to be warmer and sunny tomorrow. Waiting to pick up my brother hopefully tomorrow afternoon then hit the ditch again. Hopeto be in Charleston SC by Sunday. Anchorages are harder to plan for from here to there. I wish they were all as nice as this one. People speaking french all around me. [View Full Entry]

Seaquel at anchor at Wrightsville Beach, NC

Destination Wrightsville Beach anchorage, NC Left CampLejeune 6:15 arrived Wrightsville Beach anchorage at 1:20 I thought I was in Florida for a few hours.This is a beside the Atlantic ocean. hter areprobably 50 boats anchored here. It is a resort area and when I got here it was about 80 degrees and sunny. I took the dinghy to the dock and went to the grocery store to stock up. When I unloaded I mixed myself a nice screwdriver and sat on the deck and watched people anchor their boats. Married couplesshouldjustnot anchor boats together. It seems to be way too stressfull.

Destination - Mile Hammock Bay, Camp Lejeune, NC Left Morehead City 7:15 AM arrived at Camp Leleune 1:30PM Headwind today so no sail. Still made 8 knots out of Morehead then tide changed and went to 5 knots. This is a nice anchorage. A friend told me that sometimes at night the marines have drills in this basin and ride boats between the anchors and shoot blanks from machine guns. I hope it happens tonight. He did not know about it and woke up to machine gun fire. He said it got his heart pumping. There are already 10 boats in [View Full Entry]

Destination Morehead City, NC Left anchorage on Adams Creek at 8:30 Arrived in Morehead City at 11:30. I pulled into Portside Marina to have them look at the dinghy motor. Nice old guy named Bill worked onitfor two hour (three if you include lunch) and finally got it running again. Charged me $110. Frank, he did what you said, put penetrating spray in the spark plug hole and then wacked it with a long bolt and a hammer. That freed it up. Then he cleaned the whole carberator sytem and it seems to run like new. Went ahead and stayed at [View Full Entry]

Leaving Morehead City, NC
Come on Dinghy

The ride from DC to Lake Norman (near Mooresville, NC) was shrouded in mist; but the beaurtufl fall foliage managed to peek through. Virginia was beautiful; but no stopping for us. Sometime we should plan to stop at Old Town Alexandria; but not this trip. The dam that created Lake Norman was built in the early 60s and the homes are newish and stylish. We went with Cindy to pick up Ray at the Charlotte Airport (about a half hour drive). We've been in the Charlotte Airport many times on layovers; so, it was interesting to see it from the "non-secure [View Full Entry]

Destination - Belhaven, NC Left anchorage in the Alligator River at 8:30 AM Arrived in Belhaven at 3:30 Went down the Alligator-Pongo Canal. Saw dolfin at teh mouth of the canal in 12 feet of water. It took three hours to get through teh canal. Got a slip in Belhaven to charge up batteries etc. Played with the dinghy motor and decided it would have to go to the shop. I may have to shell out money for a new motor. I plan on anchoring out tomorrow just before the Neuse River. Should be a short day. Then a long day [View Full Entry]
