Forgot to post a picture of our beautiful new refrigerator/freezer. The shelves along the side are the extra space we found with this new, smaller, more efficient model. Of course Joe designed and built them. We are deciding whether to put in drawers or make a door over the face of the shelves.
We bought ice cream to celebrate 😁
We’ve also included a pic of Pursuit’s battery banks in case you were wondering how this would all be powered. Imagine plugging it all back together the first time after the yard disconnected them all for the season.
We are enjoying our time here immensely–so dog friendly! It is such a great community. While we put the boat back together and provision, we continue to explore. We hope to move the boat to Wilmington or Carolina Beach State Park on Saturday. Looks like we have two days of rain coming in so we can plan some routes and relax a bit. Kind of bummed the Missiles and More Museum we wanted to tour is closed until April. It looks compelling with exhibits on Operation Bumblebee, the female WASPs, pirates and the Osprey helicopter, it would have been a good way to spend a rainy afternoon. We are trying to avoid all the political haranguing on the internet, but it’s pretty hard to do!
You can see what the museum is all about here: http://missilesandmoremuseum.org/
The view from our cockpit. The start of our tour of low country. “Low country has a culture, geography, architecture, economy and even a cuisine of its own.”
All that water you see out there is very shallow and contains natural oyster and clam beds. Every once in a while we will see local fisherman in waders out there harvesting seafood. The AICW, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, is out beyond the grassy areas by the white posts you can see in the background. That’s where the deep channel that we came in on lies. The buildings on the left are waterside business including a wholesale seafood plant where you can buy fresh or frozen seafood. Yum….
