We have settled in to Southport. It is really a quaint seaport town. We have been taking daily walks along the waterfront which borders the ICW and the Cape Fear River. Pictures to come in a future post as I haven’t been taking my camera with me. It has been nice to stop moving every day and spend some time in a place that we have wanted to get to know much better. Memorial Day weekend was crazy…the town was packed with tourists, and the marina got really crowded with boat owners coming to enjoy their boats for the weekend. The marina party was fun and the 2 guys playing guitar were very good! The D-dock potluck was the best part of the weekend. We cooked out, pigged out, drank like the sailors we are, and enjoyed hanging with the residents of D-dock…some great people, and loads of fun.

We also started to get the boat in order and work on maintenance projects, something that is always behind schedule. We are also getting ready to go to the beach next week to meet our eldest daughter, our son-in-law, and 4 of our grandkids! Can’t wait.
