A Nautical Blog

My husband brought to my attention the fact that my boat blogs lack any true nautical information. In fairness, I did neglect to indicate which port we ended up at yesterday but trust me, Belhaven was an insignificant stop. He is going to assist in blogging this evening.

We left Lat 76 Degree 37 minutes Long 35 degree 32.2 minutes (Behaven, NC) at 1200 hours EST. (We had a leisurly morning - Scrappy got a bath) We cruised south about 12 nautical miles on the Pungo River (I asked the difference between a mile and a nautical mile and he told me that a nautical mile is shorter - is that because you go up and down a lot?) Crossed SW on the Pamlico River 4 Miles to Goose Creek where we continued for 9 miles (which was just enough time to make the beds - no we didn't have a fight and sleep in separate beds - Scrappy pushed Tom out of the bed last night and instantly became Alpha on the boat) that dumped into Bay River where we set a new 135 degree course and passed IWC Mile Marker 165 (evidently this means we've gone 165 short miles on the Intercoastal Waterway since leaving Norfolk - big whoop) to the Neuse River Junction Fl (2+1) R 6s 15ft 5 M Rs Ref (took that baby right off the chart) Took a 217 reading in the Neuse River for 5 miles, changed course to 248 for 13 miles - new heading 141 into Adams Creek. (blah, blah, nautical blah)

He's still reading chart data to me thinking I'm putting it in the blog - So basically we ended up in this great little town ,Beaufort NC, in the afternoon where there are more than 3 restaurants to choose from and lots of darling shoppes. Trust me, these little stores deserved the french spelling - really cute. Oops. Captain caught me.

We are at Lat 34 degrees 43 minutes Long 76 degrees 40 minutes 1606 EST(like I said Beaufort in the afternoon) and we are enjoying a lovely glass of Ironstone Cabernet Franc, courtesy of the Whites whom we visited back in Delaware, which pairs nicely with the Snickers Fudge we bought in town.
