Beaufort

We're in Beaufort, NC. This was to be our jumping-off point for St. Thomas, then it was to be our jumping-off point for a coastal trip to Florida. Weather, of course, doesn't look good for any offshore sailing until Friday, at least. So our likely route now is two more days of the ICW, then offshore in two- to three-day hops to Miami. From there it's just a short cruise across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas.

Beaufort is great. Big Daddy Wesley's grocery carries boiled peanuts and Moon Pies. We saw a guy sitting on his heavily-decorated front porch watching his LIFE-SIZED, SINGING SANTA--both times we passed the house. We also liked a dog hanging out on a the edge of a second-story roof, surveying the street. I (Dean) love it.
