NB Day 33 – Still Beaufort

Well, this three-day weather delay turned out to be a lot better than I expected.

You may remember back on February 12, we posted a cute photo of Guinness with Annie and Martha, two women that Guinness met on the boardwalk in Key West.

Annie (who was a TWA flight attendant) lives near Beaufort, and we agreed to stop and visit her on our trip north.

Without making too long a story of it, Annie, Martha, and Carolyn (friends since high school), and their husbands, fiancé’s, etc, all live or vacation in Atlantic Beach, just 15 minutes south of Beaufort. So Guinness and I spent a lot of time at Atlantic Beach. Lots of fun; lots of beer, etc.

It was very windy and cold all three days, but Annie is a real beach lover, so we still managed to get in some beach time with Guinness. Check out that Carolina Blue sky.

Today (Easter Saturday) I’ve decided to stay one more day. I just don’t want to travel on Easter Sunday. I want to go to church. Then, on Monday, we’re back on the boat, preparing to resume our northbound trip. Just 5 more travel days remaining! We planned this whole delay so that we’ll have a smooth crossing of Albemarle Sound on Monday. I hope the weather holds after that…if it does, we should be back in Rock Hall Friday afternoon.
