Beaufort, NC


We had all kinds of weather and experiences between Charleston and Beaufort.
Smooth sailing and dolphin shows turned into The Perfect Storm!
Wade was calm at the helm and I was praying that I would see my first Grandchild.
We were exhausted and finally happy to make our way in to Beaufort to get some sleep.


We indulged ourselves at the oyster bar after playing tourist at the Maritme Museum which boats a lovely library and exhibition of Blackbeard who "went down" here in Beaufort around 1783.  The bookstores here are excellent for sailing and marine books of all kinds and Wade finally found the coveted Skipper Bob Guide book to Anchorages and the most useful of tips for Cruisers.

At sunset we dingies to Carrot Island and saw the wild horses and took a stroll on an estuary board walk through a sanctuary.  The sun was going down huge and red, lighting up the fresh water river on which we are anchored, right in front of Beaufort Mansions.






Glad to be off the unpredictable Atlantic we will have a few days on the ICW. Today we will leave for Oriental.
