June 23, 2010







I started the dinghy! Then, I almost fell in the water! I pulled that thing as hard as I could, and then it slipped from my hand and I almost landed in the drink. Chris almost fell in the water too, but it was because he was laughing so hard.

The great thing about this cruising lifestyle is that you get to discover all of these little coastal towns that we would probably never get to otherwise. There is a lot of history in all these little towns as well. We went on the Water Bug tour, and Uncle Bobby is a wealth of knowledge. Blackbeard's boat Queen Ann's Revenge was found in 1996 off the coast, and there is a great museum here that has all sorts of recovered artifacts from the ship. Coincidentally, Chris' great great great etc. uncle helped take the town of Beaufort for the Union Army during the Civil War.

We have a great spot here, we get to see Rusty and Connie (two wild mustang horses) who live on Carrot island. They are two bachelors out of 45 or so wild horses that live on the island. They graze on the sea grass quite often near our boat.
