Swansboro to River Dunes, NC ~ 2 Day

Today:          61 miles               9.2 hours          ICW St M “175.0”
Total:       2650 miles          359.1 hours

Saturday, 5/18/19 ~  I decided to walk her in the morning before we left.  I wanted to check out this part of town and also the geese.  I wasn’t disappointed. The town had its own style and it was charming! There were 2 drakes fighting in the parking lot, making a racket as they challenged each other.  Further on I saw Mama and her 11 chicks. Bailey did, too and kept as far away as possible!

          

          

          

          

          

     
     While I was gone, Pete checked everything again.  We are now fully charged, thanks to being able to plug in.
     It was another long day, but we will have time to chill once at River Dunes. The ride today was rather sedate as the charger seemed to be working.

    As we secured into our dock, the woman from the boat behind us called out to us!  Lisa and Jim from SV SOUTHWARD are once again our neighbors.  They wintered in Hilton Head and were now heading back to Maine to cruise and investigate since they didn’t have time when they bought the boat early last fall.
     After some discussion, we decided to pass on the BBQ hosted by River Dunes. Instead head to M & M Café, in Oriental with Lisa, Jim, Stan and Jeannie, who are also on our dock. It was a totally enjoyable time with friends, both new and old, lively conversation and delicious food.

Sunday, 5/19/19 ~ was chores: Laundry, scrubbing the boat and dog, checking the electrical again, laying in a few more food provisions, and finally some reading.  The internet is still practically non-existent, but the harbor master assured me that the new internet system will be going in shortly.  I sure hope so! They also need better telephone reception as there is practically none in this area.
