Yesterday, we arrived in Beaufort (pronounced Bowfort) NC at 2:15. It had been cool and cloudy, but then the weather turned sunny and warm. Beaufort is very nice, something like Oak Bluffs. we had a wonderful dinner (oysters and tuna) at an outdoor restaurant overlooking a beautiful harbor. Across from us was an island which has wild horses. We didn't see any, but we did see more dolphins. This would be a great place to spend more time. Very close to the outer banks.
We were warned by other boaters not to go outside the intracoastal, as it was "snotty", meaning very bad seas.
We left Beaufort this morning at 10am and traveled 9.5 hours to arrive at our final destination, St. James Plantation Marina in SouthPort, NC, which is at the end of North Carolina, near the Cape Fear river. We're glad to be here, but sorry the journey is at an end. We passed Camp Lejune on the way, which was very interesting. At times the intracoastal is closed if the Marines are shooting or doing amphibious excercises.
I have learned so much about navigation, and realize how much more I need to learn.
Thanks to everyone who followed this blog and shared this interest. We'll be home soon, but will be planning more journeys.
