I awoke this morning at dusk to a view of our beautiful anchorage with mist in the air and a still sea without even a ripple. Paul you would love to shoot this area. (http://www.paulrezendes.com/) It ended up being a slow moving morning, with some maintenance chores to finish and my wife made us breakfast before we weighed anchor(how funny does that sound). We made it past our last opening bridge in North Carolina escorted again by Linda's dolphin friends. This time she was able to catch a quick photo. Once out of the Alligator River we were able to put both our sails up and give the motor a rest for a while as we made our way across Albemarle Sound. This only lasted a short time, long enough for us to determine that The Last Mango sails well, as some ominous looking clouds started moving in from the north. Thanks to Phil for pointing these out to us. The storms never caught up to us until we were safely tied up for our stay at Coinjock Marina. They have a restaurant that is known for their prime rib and offer a 32 oz Captain's cut- we chose the boatswain's mate 14 oz instead! An excellent choice. Fueled up again, a whole 10 gallons for the last two days travel. Tomorrow we plan to leave NC in our wake tackle the many bridges on Virginia's portion of the ICW.
The Silent Treatment
ReplyDeleteA man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM ." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM . Wake up."
Congrats congrats!! I knew it all along. Haven't checked in but had a feeling since the first day I read blog.
