We departed Everglades City last Monday afternoon Anne driving our vehicle and myself in an NCOBS' Van. Destination one, Seafarer Marine, Ft. Lauderdale, FL to stock up on supplies and materials for summer boat projects.
We arrived in Beaufort Tuesday evening. Wednesday, Anne caught up with friends and searched for a summer rental while I completed some OB work. Both Tuesday and Wednesday night we thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our Beaufort homecoming with friends.
Thanks to Jeff A. for being a wonderful host and allowing us to crash at his place.
Thursday we deposited our car and gear in Beaufort, and drove westward in the NCOBS Van. We visited with my family and some longtime family friends on Thursday evening.
A couple early morning hours of driving on Friday and we arrived at the NCOBS Office in Asheville, NC. By mid morning our friend Luis was shuttling us south to Greenville / Spartanburg airport (GSP). Our Friday the 13th flight was uneventful and Trish's car, pre-stashed at the Punta Gorda Airport by my parents a week earlier, allowed us to completed the journey back to Sunset Island.
Ahh - the simple life of cruising is fraught with complex logistics. Perhaps when we commit to living aboard full time these complexities will diminish? Perhaps it is just the price to be paid for the more quiet, peaceful times on the water.
No way!?! Wish we would have known that you all were here. We are in the Greenville area on a project. We would have loved to have caught that beer with y'all.
