I think this boat has some of Rick's DNA because she also believes in perpetual motion. I swear it was like being at the Atlanta Cyclorama. The scenery went by slowly in one 120 degree arc and then back again. ALL DAMN DAY.
In the morning we went to town (not like that, have you MET us?!) for a breakfast sandwich. We appeared to be the only people in NC wearing masks.
Then we took a heroic walk to Ace Hardware for shirts (no really - it has great stuff. I bought my first and only pair of flip flops there last year and I LOVE them), Publix, ABC store, Subway and the 7-11 for ice. So we did our part of the local economy. We fit in five stores in a couple of hours. We are hard workers...
This afternoon brought news that we are going to need to be flexible. Rick has accepted a short-term consulting gig. Which means we are headed back to Atlanta for a couple of months. We felt down right whiny about it, but quickly realized that's a first world problem and that we need to have an attitude of gratitude. We will get to New Bern and store the boat for two months - and then decide what is next. We will still be able to have water-based adventures Aug-Oct so we feel lucky about that.
Don't despair - I've got a couple more days to write about!
