A Day Spent With Friends

Beaufort   

It is no secret that the last week has been both disappointing and stressful. So many plans have needed to be altered. One of the first to change was a meetup with David and Sue (DayDreaming) in Southport. They live is Supply, NC, but they share a home marina with us in Deltaville. Prior to our departure, they had graciously agreed to receive two packages for us believing we were mere days away. Anxious to rid themselves of our Amazon boxes and not minding the drive, they even more graciously offered to deliver them to us in Beaufort. With anxious anticipation we awaited their arrival this morning. We spent an hour aboard Crossroads catching up and sharing stories of boating adventures. Their boat is currently in Canada for the winter and they will continue their Great Loop journey in late spring. We went into town and enjoyed an extended lunch, then returned to Crossroads. I doubt there was subject left unaddressed. As the sun began to set we said our farewells, very thankful for a special day with friends. There were no clouds in the sky to enhance tonight's sunset. For tonight though, a nice solid orange was appropriate. I compared the color to UVA orange and it proved to be a good omen for the Cavaliers' victory over the Hokies. Although tomorrow will begin below freezing, it is supposed to be sunny with low wind. Barry and I will make another attempt to visit Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, and Fort Macon before the next round of rain arrives and the temperatures plummet.
