Layover in Morehead City Yacht Basin

     We were able to rent the Marina van for 2 hours at 8:30 this morning. As a result we were able to make a run to Harris Teeter and West Marine. Pete remained behind to do some work.
     We will definitely be staying in place today.  The winds are out of the southwest at 25+.  We have put additional lines on the boat as we were under a tornado watch for a good part of the day.  The storms that ravaged the south have diminished somewhat, but are still packing quite a wallop and heading this way. The newscasts from the devastated areas are surreal and the death count keep rising as some of the big tornados hit major cities. Yesterday might go down as being the worst tornado outbreak in recorded history. This just makes me want to just hold my family and friends close.
    Once back at the boat I needed to defrost the fridge/freezer again.  I also needed to do some laundry since we had time.  I wasn’t as successful with the blog.  My pictures and writings are ready, but the internet would not connect, and Pete needed the air card this afternoon.

So instead the boat interior was cleaned before heading to Andiamo for dinner. Knowing that our return home is coming up much too quickly, Betty suggested we give our little  "Thank You” sea star dish and dip set we found in Fernadina Beach to Mr. & Mrs. Cruise Dictator, Martha and Dan, tonight.  We will still take them to dinner once the cruise is over, but we know that we will all have commitments and it will take a lot more planning.
