Day two went a bit better. We are getting our
act together
in the van. We left Belhaven around 0900 today (Tues) and
met Blaine and Janet of Charbonneau in Bath NC. Had a
good time with them. We heard the latest on their
charity work under HogsforDogs (www.hogsfordogs.com).
They are taking a year off from cruising to ... (they can say
it better so checkout their web site.
They suggested that we use the NC ferry system instead of
Rte 17. We took their suggestion and crossed the Pamlico
and Neuss rivers via ferry. Does that count for time on the
water? We had a great time and probably saved two hours
of travel time.
We stopped by Beaufort NC and were profoundly disappointed
this time. Sailboats were almost non-existent, the people were
flaky, and generally not how we remembered it in 2001. Those
of you that have been following our adventures know that we were
disappointed in it in 2002 also. Oh well, we cope.

We arrived here at River View
Campground at 1630. This is one
of our favorite campgrounds; it is family owned and always clean.
Folks here are very friendly. Bob did a bonehead thing tonight.
He decided to take a 'short cut'
through another camp site and got stuck (akin to gojng aground).
After some work, we broke through.
Well, that's for all tonight. Catch you in a day or two.
Happy Christmas eve/eve.
