How do you like this lawn ornament!

This guy is having a bad day!

We think this guy was delivering this car carrier

There was only one car on the boat with him

We tried to reach him on the radio to ask him

to slow down since we were getting ready to go

under a bridge...he didn't answer

Look at the wake he left

We felt like we were back in the Atlantic Ocean

Luckily we slowed down when we did because when

he passed us we had like two foot waves which put us in 

a pattern and the waves lasted a long time....we would come up

from one wave and then slam down into another one...

Dream Catcher was ahead of us and was going under the bridge

 at the time...luckily the water was low enough to get 

us threw the bridge...it was close!

 

This house was on an island all by itself....

It took up the whole island....I may have posted 

it coming down...worth another posting!

This trawler lost his engine just when he was passing

us...they hurried up and dropped the anchor but was still

a little to close for comfort....they contacted us and 

asked us to put some fenders out in case we got a little

close tonight....we opted to move instead, so we/they

didn't have to worry about it.  After he got the engine going

again he put his dinghy in the water and brought us a

"thank you" bottle of wine for moving!  

That was very sweet!

Our sunset at Camp Lejeune, NC

As the sun was setting we could hear the ocean waves on the starboard

side along with a fog horn, on the port side we could hear owls in the woods,

 and behind us we could hear the geese honking as they were landing for the night!

Today was another good day of traveling.  Once we dropped anchor, Bob did some much needed work on emails and MC stuff!  Jayne & Gary invited us to dinner and boy was it good.  She started us off with homemade Hummus with crackers and then moved on to Mac & cheese with hamburger and a homemade upside down cake with whip cream!  Then they sent us home with a goodie bag of leftover cake, hot dogs, burger, paper plates, and some fruit along with some good reading books on the Bahama's!  Now it doesn't get any better than that!
