calm seas, a sunny day in the midst of a cold, drizzly week, cellphones so that we could talk to our family and friends, a very good captain/hubby, and the best little boat dog on earth. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
We spent last night in Beaufort SC and had a wonderful visit with the McGarrity's. Pat gave us a tour of the historic home district - you could just feel the history in that place. Had visions of Rhett and Scarlet strolling along, sniping at each other. Gorgeous, authentically restored homes, including McGarrity's stunner. Suzanne has a great sense of combining old with new - loved her home. And, I will never forget the ham bisquits. Yum, yum, yum. Like nothing I've ever tasted.
Left Beaufort at about 11 a.m. today and ran outside in almost non-existent waves. A gift from God this Thanksgiving. The seas eventually built to about 3 foot but not until we were ready to slip into the ICW channel to Amelia Island Florida. The run through that channel was challenging. Lots of really narrow twists and turns with little branches going off in all directions. Markers up the wazoo! So there was a lot of "wait - that's not our red...is that our green?" Geez Louise - it was ridiculous.
Fernandina Beach on Ameilia Island is a really cute town and very dog friendly so it's fun to walk around and shop. We found a great little restaurant serving Thanksgiving dinner so we didn't have to resort to those turkey sandwiches after all. We're blessed and we're thankful. Hope everyone had a lovely day. Tomorrow we're off to St. Augustine.
Oh, and we're thankful for all of our "followers" too: )

Happy Thanksgiving! Most people live an entire lifetime without experiencing the kind of places and wonderful people you're encountering. Enjoy every second...and take many, many pictures! Miss and love you. Hi from Tulsa!
