FRIDAY NIGHT THANKYOUS

Friday Night Thank you Notes is one of the regular spots that Jimmy Fallon shares on Friday nights. Like me his writers probably start thinking far in advance for one line zingers that make us either laugh or groan. I’ve been working on this blog for a few weeks now. Let’s hope it gets published before mid-night tonight. 

THANK YOU Navionics and  Aquamap Mobile Apps for helping us navigate through difficult areas. And now that Bob423 has downloaded his tracks to Aquamap it’s as if he has left a trail of breadcrumbs for us to follow. (BTW-our 1996 technology Garmin 2010C at the helm is still holding her own).

THANK YOU Rachel’s Bakery in Washington, and RE Mayo along Adams Creek Canal for providing us with yummy breakfast pastries and absolutely the most delicious shrimp (with heads) and crab balls. And I can’t forget Blackbeard’s Slices and Ices in Bath where we had our first pizza in over 2 months!

THANK YOU bridges with height boards to tell us whether we will fit under the bridge or not. I’d hate to find out too late that our mast is too tall. 

THANK YOU Ospreys in Beaufort flying low near the bridge,  and the helicopters in Mile Hammock practicing touch and go (even at night) and the artillery fire all afternoon as we traveled the borders of Camp Le June.

THANK YOU Adams Creek for some of the most interesting sights so far along the waterway. Still no alligators, and only a few dolphins. 

THANK YOU Beaufort, NC (BO FORT) for being such a welcoming town to visit, shop and enjoy a delicious lunch with Cousin Bill and Jane. 

THANK YOU sunrise for always rising in the east. And therefore making it tough to see when you are leaving an anchorage on the west side of the ICW. 

THANK YOU sunset for interrupting our dinner hour every night. 

We have much to be thankful for, our health, our friends and family who are following our travels, the friendly and helpful people we have met so far on our trip, and this beautiful country that we live in that allows us the freedom opportunity and privilege to travel and visit with family and friends.
