On The Hard in Oriental NC

It looks like our Picassa is working again to post pictures. It's been awhile, but all is going well. We left Fernandina Beach on Saturday, April 23rd with "Cambia" & "Simple Pleasure". Did an overnight trip (32 hours), to reach Butler Island off of Winyah Bay in SC for the night. Stayed on the ICW with stops at Calabash and Wrightsville Beach. We hunkered down at the anchorage in Wrightsville to wait for a serious front to pass (with tornado watches!) for a couple of days. Then off to Spooner Creek; near Morehead City for a night with "Cambia". Of course, we had a make a dinghy run in to shore to the WalMart and to Luigis for pizza. After a night in Cedar Creek; off of Adams Creek we sailed over to Oriental to Sailcraft Services, where we were hauled out on Monday, May 2nd. I seem to be gaining every day physically. Yesterday, I even rode a bike to the Oriental Post Office to send off our Steiner binoculars for a repair and cleaning. We will be "on the hard" for the month of May, with a car trip to NY for a doctors appt. in Cooperstown. Jim is working VERY HARD! Painting the bottom, polishing the boat, changing the raw water pump, redoing the teak.........
