 What a gorgeous morning on the Neuse River…..more specifically Broad Creek.  The morning stillness is something you hate to interrupt as the reflections in the water are so beautiful.  But as life goes on….so must we.  We need to get SOUTH! We know we want to get beyond Beaufort and Morehead City if possible and READ MORE

 We bid our farewell to Belhaven and the lovely marina folks at River Forest Manor and Marina.  We elected to let Bill and the crew aboard Somewhere In Time to depart before us.  We knew they would be passing us anyhow so might as well wait, right?  I forgot to share their picture entering the READ MORE

With Greg needing to do a virtual check in with one of his doctors today, we elected to stay in Belhaven where we knew we had good cell phone coverage.  This area can be spotty at times and we have yet to spend time enjoying the scenery. Henry, one of the principal owners of the READ MORE

 We had just a tad bit of trouble lifting the anchor this morning but with a little quick maneuvering the captain was able to get it loose and we were off to Belhaven. We decided to head into a marina so we could make an easy rendezvous with our friends, Barry and Robin.  Seems there READ MORE

 We departed Broad Creek Extension about 0730 knowing we had a good eight hours to our favorite Pungo River anchorage.  Our first navigational challenge is the Alligator River Bridge.  Always a challenge to time this bridge unless you are the boat in the middle.  If you are the first boat you will sit and wait READ MORE

 With an early morning wake up call, Paradigm Shift set sail…….I mean powered up and set her sights on the beginning of her first voyage to the Bahamas.  This voyage that began this morning will take us to our favorite spots and hopefully get us to Tavernier, Florida before crossing in January to the Bahamas.

As we pull away from the dock, we raise our flag in honor of the folks who have fought to keep us free.  Thank you to all the Veterans and the families and folks that support and defend this country. Off without a hitch!  Okay maybe the fact that the inverter did not appear to READ MORE
