Beaufort, NC
Still here, waiting for the right time to hit the sea. There were few very cold days with lots of wind, one night with winds up to 50 knots, everybody keeping watch of their boat as well as the ones in the near proximity. One sailboat beached out during that time and had to wait for the next tide (6 hours) to get back into the water, spending the night at 45 degrees and freezing temperature! The nights continue to be cold, even frost time is announced daily, but days are reasonably warm. We bicycle around the town, or just relax in warm Nikan, our stove working full time. Today we will get some more of the best sausages we ever had, made right here in Beaufort. Food becomes quite important on the boat, since we don’t have to worry about work, deadlines, bills… - we only have to make sure our stomachs are fully satisfied. Getting some goodies is a daily occupation!! But be assured, that I am keeping a sharp look-out on J-P’s waistline (as well as mine) to make sure it stays slim and trim...
