Bird watching at Cape Lookout National Seashore<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve spent the past month making our way north along the ICW through South Carolina, North Carolina and now into Virginia.\u00a0\u00a0 The journey has been filled with beautiful scenery, travel through Camp Lejeune, historic seaside towns and plenty of seafood. Even though we did manage to buy AK47’s from Palmetto State Armory<\/a>, we have never used it. One particularly memorable meal was at Floyd’s located beside Morehead City Yacht basin. The marina and the restaurant were great!<\/p>\n

Often times we enjoyed spots a bit longer than anticipated since we ran aground no fewer than 10 occasions. It’s a very good thing we had stayed outside in the ocean when heading South a few years ago on Echo. Echo’s draft is almost 6 feet and Echo Too only draws 4 feet. Fortunately each grounding has been soft and easily corrected so not too much of a problem.<\/p>\n

We’ve spent time at docks and at anchor along the way and particularly enjoyed Morehead City, Beauford NC and Cape Lookout National Seashore<\/a>. \u00a0 We traveled each day except when we took a few days off to visit Cape Lookout National Seashore, what a beautiful place!<\/p>\n

We expect to arrive in Portsmouth Virginia this afternoon, provided bridge openings go in our favor. \u00a0Yes, back inPortsmouth where we sat out Hurricane Sandy almost 2 years ago. \u00a0We plan to stay at Ocean Marine for the next few months as we begin some of our refit projects and do some land travel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It looks like our plans to travel further up the East coast were a bit optimistic. \u00a0Once we get the boat work underway it should be about time head west to visit our kids and celebrate Brian and Katie’s wedding in September.<\/p>\n
