Easter

It's Easter and we're in Mile Hammock Bay which is part of Camp LeJeune, NC. The Marine base sometimes uses this harbor and could toss us out without notice.

Didn't happen and we're underway on Monday. We're going past Beaufort, NC today. My last post was from Beaufort, SC. Bo - fert today, Byew - fert last week.

We met up with friends while we we're underway leaving Charleston. Symmetry has a mooring near us in Mystic and were with us when we spent January in Marathon. They spotted us going by and hailed us on the VHF radio. Because they heard us talking with Symmetry, Voyageur called us also. They winter in St Augustine and we got together with them just before Thanksgiving down there. They followed us up the ICW and we anchored near each other in Minim Creek, SC. We had them to dinner. Great meeting up with friends!

The next morning we left earlier than them and got well ahead of them. Maybe they'll catch up to us up the 'road'.

We stayed two nights at Wrightsville Beach, NC. Oil change day and we got fuel. $250 worth. Ouch. Wrightsville is a beach town. Bikinis on the streets and in the stores. Wearers were all too young to be interesting. Well... most anyway.

So now we're going along the longest state on the ICW, North Carolina. More than 50 hours to traverse. Virgina will be the shortest.

Nice areas, however.

Southern South Carolina is not the greatest area on the ICW. Georgia is the buggiest. And there's one small area of Florida I didn't like. The Cape Canaveral area. Except for these spots it's been pretty nice. Hope it continues.


Cat excited about all this.
