Uncertainty

The weather forecasts for the next week are highly uncertain so we aren’t sure when we will be departing Beaufort. It could be as early as Monday or as late as the following Monday. In the meantime, we are continuing to chip away at our chores list and walk through town when the weather allows. Yesterday we worked on a few small chores, did one load of laundry, and borrowed the courtesy car to visit the hardware  and grocery stores. This morning we walked to the farmers market and did another load of laundry. I went through the galley and rearranged some things. We are always working on maximizing the valuable real estate on the boat. 

George is currently working on the Bahamas Click2Clear process. Since last year clearing Bahamas customs is done online. Last year it took George a full day to get it done. This year he expects to get it done within a few hours. Well, strike that last remark. In the process of completing Click2Clear George discovered we don’t have our Coast Guard vessel documentation—think car registration—on board. We suspect the renewal somehow fell through the cracks last spring. Since we won’t be able to enter the Bahamas without the documentation we are discussing heading south along the US coast while we get the documentation sorted out. 

Olde Beaufort Farmers Market







We continued walking through town and passed by the Watercraft Center of the North Carolina Maritime Museum of Beaufort. 

When we returned to Breeze On after visiting the farmers market and walking through town we were treated to a nearby sailboat race.
