Beautiful Beaufort

Tourism,

Beaufort North Carolina that is.  Our our way north we stopped at one of our favorite places.  We have now visited Beaufort 4 times!  We like it because it is such a cute town with beautiful houses and nice people.  We like the neighborhoods so much I think Stanley’s walk time doubled!  We met up again with our buddies Kirk and Donna from Ainulindale and had a nice dinner out with them and several boat dinners and generally just had a great time!

Retreat!

Uncategorized,

After a sleepless night on anchor watch with gusts over 30 knots we have decided to retreat to Beaufort docks. What really sealed the deal is watching other boats in our anchorage dragged anchor and then come morning they all left! We never dragged, but didn’t feel comfortable going ashore and leaving the boat by itself. Now we are safely tied up to the dock right in downtown Beaufort and can go enjoy the festivities at the Wooden Boat show without worry. Long hot showers with endless water are a plus too! Ryan did an amazing job backing the boat into our slip with boats on all sides! It makes me remember why I keep him around. 🙂 Hopefully the weather will calm down and we can go back to anchor tomorrow night. If it doesn’t then I guess we’ll enjoy this luxury a little longer. Beaufort is such a fun town. It seems like there is some kind of festival or something every weekend. Well we’re off to the Wooden Boat show and happy our boat is safe without our attention.
