Mike was able to repair the engine which saved us time as well as money. I keep telling him that I can now refer to him as "Mr. Fix-It" as he's getting pretty good as repairs. My dad was so good as repairing anything that Mike asked me if he could now be called Keith. I told him unfortunately he has a long way to go before that happens.
We were able to leave Dowry Creek Marina near Belhaven, N.C. and arrive here at a very small place called Alligator Creek Marina. We passed through a wildlife refuge today where there are actually bears as well as alligators. It felt as if we were the only people on earth today as we never even saw another boat. It was so isolated. We just found out about the hurricane yesterday so we are quickly heading north to get to the Atlantic Yacht Basin in Virginia where we plan to hunker down and ride out the storm. We expect to get there on Thursday so should have plenty of time to prepare. Hopefully it won't be too bad. We didn't even know about the earthquake in the Washington DC area and of course didn't feel anything being on the water. What's happening with the weather?
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
