Wednesday 5/27 - Topsail Island/Hampstead, NC to Beaufort, NC
First thought of the day...'Today is Lisa's birthday!!!'
Today was a long cruise day….arrived in Beaufort (Boo-fert) around 4:30ish. Really nice dock hands and marina sits right on Front St. (their Main St). They have their act together...they give you a wooden token for a free drink and then marina folk get 10% off dinner at the dock house restaurant.
This first picture was taken from the boat looking in toward the marina and town and the other is the opposite view - lots of sailboats at mooring balls.
It’s another charming little city. After we got settled (again, this takes a good hour after arrival!!) we headed out in the marina's courtesy car - ABC for Harry's vodkie and CVS for Harry’s drugs…. these cars are always a hoot…usually a car that they don’t care if you dent, ding or wreck… this one was a 70s Buick station wagon with the wood panel on the sides - a Woody’ and it drove like a tank…it sat really low and i had to chuckle at Harry driving this thing. I guess everyone in town knows we're marina folks! And they had two 'Woodys' - one was navy and one was white. weird huh?
Since we arrived early, I did more research than normal and chose a dinner spot called Aqua. It was a few streets off the main street and we kinda missed it at first but this allowed us to visit a lovely, unique cemetery. A mysterious grave was one that looked at its core, as if it had been there for many, many years, yet the remembrances (trinkets) were child like and new - not one appeared moldy or wet or old. curious huh? as many of you know i love cemeteries, especially one like this but Harry was more than willing to keep walking - i think the place gave him the 'willies'.
Aqua turned out to be a good choice; very fun, different and it had great food. We shared crab cakes and scallop small plates. yum.
