Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

Yesterday, we moved from our anchorage at Wrightsville Beach to a marina there. We planned to bike to an Episcopal Church nearby for Easter services, then grocery shop on our way back to the boat. St. Andrew's was beautiful, as was the service. We got to Skype with the family at Cindy's house (my sister). We saw Olivia's singing Easter bunny. Chris was chained to his computer, working on projects for school, so we Skyped with him later.

We have seen lots of cool things over the last day or two. There were swimmers, surf boarders, and LOTS of boats near the marina. The boats kind of reminded us of cruising the drive-in. Lots of people walked on the docks and checked the boat out. A pretty little girl made friends with Ryder.

We left the marina around noon today and came to New River, NC. Along the way, we saw interesting yard sculpture, lots of birds and porpoises, and beautiful water and scenery. Tomorrow we head for Beaufort.

Some of the swimmers.
