Well we were late leaving Thunderbolt and then we had to pick up a part in Charleston so the decision was made to actually do an overnight run and get into Wilmington Saturday morning. I say “a decision was made” because I’m not sure how much input I really had on that one, but Captain Jim and Gary were quite sure they could do it with 2 hour shifts and I could sleep thru the night.
This also meant that dinner was on the run while offshore. That really limits what can be fixed. A couple cans of soup in the microwave was better than pb&j. Frozen entrees that just need to be heated in the microwave would be perfect for situations like this so that goes on the ever growing list of things to do/purchase when we get home.
We tied up at the City Dock right in downtown Wilmington and spent the day with family.
An early start this morning after moving the huge tree that floated into us overnight and we’re on our way to Beaufort NC for the evening.
It’s a beautiful day and should be a nice run up the coast.
We are just finishing up our 10 day Italy/Croatia sojourn. I love the blog and it sounds like each day is getting better and better. Send me an email with new email address. Hope to get together soon- keep on cruisin’
