As mentioned, we’re in Beaufort NC for the Thanksgiving holiday. Wednesday we relaxed and went to the store for last-minute items for the Thanksgiving feast. We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset over some gorgeous sailboats. Thursday was a special day — Carey made an exceptional dinner and the two of us enjoyed each other’s company and the food. We also enjoyed listening to the start of a Beaufort tradition — the 5K Gobble Walk that allows young, old, and everybody in between. And it was a good stop as the winds blew 15 to 20 knots — not a good day for traveling. Friday arrived with light winds and plenty of sunshine, but still cold. We got underway at 7 AM and started the 70-mile trip to Wrightsville Beach, NC. You’ll see some of the sights along our way below. What can’t be shown in pictures is the great navigation day we had. We traveled the 70 miles managing 3 bridges that had to open for our air height but only opened on the hour and half-hour and two very shallow inlet areas in the ICW. One of those we had to travel at dead low tide. A nail-biter but we made it through. We arrived at Wrightsville Beach at 4 PM and you see some of the lights of the evening as in the last picture. We had our best meal of the trip so far (and most expensive) at the restaurant at the Bridge Tender Marina, where we had stopped for the night. After dinner, back to the boat to get ready for tomorrow’s trip to Myrtle Beach and Barefoot Landing Marina.
