After four days of cruising and anchoring out in gorgeous weather and beautiful anchorages, we arrived at one of our favorite stops, Manteo, NC on Roanoke Island, home to the Wright Brothers and the first flight, the National Seashore Beaches, (boogie board time) and where we met up with Stephen and Pam on Tides In. After we arrived, we got together with good friends Dave and Penny whom we cruised with in Florida and had great fun meeting them here in Manteo and Okracoke two years ago. They sold Stormy last year and now are land lubbers, although they do have a home on the water with a small boat to mess around in. Great to see them again. We had fun playing at the beach, taking the girls for swims and ice cream, exploring Manteo, and playing with Stephen, Pam and their two Grandsons at the beach.
Today, we headed out, saying goodbye to Manteo, Tides In, and put the pointy end North. We are docked overnight at Coinjock Marina, Home of the 32 oz. prime rib tonight, and will head to Great Bridge in the morning for another overnight stop with temps in the upper 90's. Thank goodness we have AC. Oh, no power at Great Bridge! Me thinks it will be time to fire-up the Genset. We will be meeting up with Tides In again the first week of August, after September Song is pulled and her bottom is painted, and the four of us will play in the Chesapeake until sometime in September, hopefully meet up with Sea Pearl, put the pointy end South and play and explore our way back to the Keys.

Up, up, and away!
Great old boat.
Good friends Dave and Penny. It was great to see you guys again. Hopefully we will see you again on our way South.
