A first for Pepromenon! OCEAN SAILING!
We sailed out the inlet in Beaufort, NC and anchored overnight at Cape Lookout, which is at the southern tip of the Outer Banks. Beautiful protected bight. Dinghied all around and went ashore to the lighthouse. We left next morning at 4am and sailed in the ocean down to the Masonboro Inlet at Wrightsville Beach. 12 hour trip. It was gorgeous with long rolling waves.

We stopped in Southport, NC to visit with Bob's sister, Randee and husband, Dave, and friends Liz and Ray. They fed us a wonderful seafood dinner and even loaned us a car to get to the grocery store. It was so warm this year, we were able to play games on the beach!
In Myrtle Beach, SC we stopped to visit cruising friends. Tammy had us for dinner, but Michael was off in the Pacific delivering a boat.
While traversing the swampy Wacamaw River, we spied 2 alligators. Thought they were logs in the water, then they ducked down as we approached! These are cypress trees.
Great to be back in Charleston! We are halfway now to Miami! Stayed at the City Megadock this year.
So many restaurants! Such culinary delights!
And I just had to take this picture of the boat that pumps out the holding tanks!
