Boring is good when your underway!

Hi All,



The tittle says it all. Cruising down the ICW can be boring at times. Smoothe water, a little bit of current against you here and there, miles of wetlands and of course miles of houses! The one thing that is good about boredom is the fact that everything on board is working properly! No alarms going off, no mechanical or crew issues, etc. Since leaving Norfolk the weather has been nothing less than stellar. A few hours of thunderstorms near Carolina Beach,NC but no winds of any concern.
We have not been meeting many boats along the way because everyone seems to be heading south with a vengence, including us. Now that we are sure to make our flight from Myrtle Beach to NJ on Fri eve, we have slowed down some. The last two nights were spent in Calabash,NC. Walked about 1 1/2 mi. to the Calabash Presbyterian Church. Wonderful people and a great pastor, Rev Jack. Why is it that at home the churches don't seem as friendly? They had coffee and cake going on and invited us into their Sunday School, which happened to be all adults! A little later on that afternoon we were joined by our friends, Bill, Margie, and the "boys"(Casey & Oscar their dogs) on S/V Tortuga. We cruised with them in the Bahamas last winter for awhile and they visited us in NJ for a few days in July on their way to New England. It was great catching up and comparing our plans for the upcoming winter.
This morning we left for our marina, Wacca Wache, where we will be keeping the boat at for the next 3+ weeks. Will be back on the boat Nov 10th after our daughter's wedding, Nov 6th.

Looking forward to seeing "Country Bobbie" and his wife Claudia who live about 15mins. away and Scott and Terry( our future son-in-law's aunt and uncle) who live in the area also!

All for now,
