Surf City Night 2

We enjoyed our stay in surf city. Everything again within walking distance. We took care of lots of planning today while we waited out a thunderstorm that never hit. We had really high winds all day though. We now can make our way around Camp Lejeune legitimately and get to Beaufort in time to meet up with friends of my Grandparents, the Nortons. Today we swung into Swingbridge Beer and Wine for some refreshments. The guy running the counter was a kayaker and gave us some good advice on attractions in the area and good paddling spots. They had a great beer selection too. We are headed to Sneads Ferry tomorrow. It's a few miles out of the way but gives a good launch point to get around Camp Lejeune. We have decided to add a 30 mile day in after we get around Camp Lejeune in an effort to make it to Beaufort and because we cant find a stopping point between Bear island and there. Still no pics up of the new boat. It got dark out and I didnt want to take a picture of the boat in the dark with my cell phone. We still cannot upload pics from the camera to a website or facebook or this blog. Hopefully after Beaufort that will change. If not, while on vacation in Nags Head we will be able to put up all the pictures for everyone to see. We are past the halfway point of the trip time wise. We think we can end somewhere in Maryland but Lewes might be out of reach we will have to see. There is power and internet tomorrow night as well. Congratulations to Ben and Amanda as well. We got the news via facebook that little ben is in the world. Also happy mothers day to our mothers. They deserve a good mothers day for putting up with us and this crazy trip.
