Hi everyone!
We stayed at Beaufort for a few nights because of the bad weather that was expected. We got some high winds, but it wasn't all that bad for us. The people who did get the awful weather are in our prayers. While we were in Beaufort we did laundry and grocery shopping again, and had some canvas repaired.
The update is late because Verizon had a glitch with their 3g over the last couple of days. We were relieved that it wasn't operator error! The 3g is working again, which is good because we got to Skype with Olivia again. She has taken some steps, but of course wasn't interested in showing off last night.
The Maritime Museum in Beaufort was excellent. I took one photo inside - of a "stuffed" great white - but flash photography wasn't allowed. And my camera flashed. They had a display of Blackbeard items, which is about to expand. Edward Teech, aka Blackbeard, prowled the coast of North Carolina. His flagship, "Queen Anne's Revenge", supposedly went down near Beaufort. Very interesting!
I have to make some wildlife friends everywhere I go... This time it was a heron that came to fish every morning on the dock near us. Today we are going inland a little to New Bern, NC. We will update you from there!

Hope to catch you in Norfolk. We will depart on Monday. A friend tells me that there is a marina on the Navy base just beyond the last carrier slip North. Call MWR. S
