Butler Island, South Carolina 10/24/17 and 10/25/17

 We were leaving Calabash this morning and saw this....
I had Bob turn around and go back to the pole so I could
figure out what was on it!  Boys from the dredging co.
must of had a good time!
 NC & SC line!
 Row of bars in Calabash


 See the sign between the 2 sailboats?  It says Danger...
we are entering the Rock area and there are a lot of them
to be seen on a low tide....The guy to the right was way to
far over to the right and ended up hitting one of them....and boy
did he slam!  We contacted him on the radio later to make
sure he was ok and he was.....he said there was a lot of little
things that broke, such as, locks being torn off the doors...etc...
but he didn't appear to be taking on any water.  His keel is
bolted on so they are going to do a quick haul just to be
certain all is good....

 Blue Heron
 Pirates!!
 scenery





 Pole with a tree branch growing out of it!
 My Bobby enjoying the sun and beauty!
 Moe made this blanket for us and it's a beauty!  In the dark blue
areas she stitched our name "Storymaker" in it....each block had a
letter....Bob was so flabbergasted at the fact that the blanket was made
stitch by stitch!  He wants to count all the stitches....I told him to have fun
with that....I was going to call Moe and ask if she could tell us...it would be
a lot more easier!
 These guys are out spraying down the woods, for mosquitoes?
 Good morning from Georgetown

 
My babies are having their pictures taken at school today!
Andrew is quite the ham! He's so cute with his bow tie....
Let's see if it makes it in the pictures!
 
We left Calabash a day earlier than we planned.  The storms came and boy were they ferocious!  We got 3 text msgs on our phone last night telling us we were under a tornado warning and to take cover asap.....didn't make for sleeping well....however, by the morning the sky was clear and we moved on!
 
We are leaving this morning and headed for McClellanville, SC where we will be anchored in sea grass all around our boat!  The last time Bob was there with Paul, they walked into town and had shrimp for dinner.  We are going to try and make that happen again...if we ever start moving this morning!!!
 


Southport, Calabash, NC 10/22/17 and 10/23/17

 Coming into Southport to get some fuel and water
 These next several pictures are of Carolina Beach, SC
We will be spending a few days here our next time through...

 There were actually people sitting out on the balcony
We never see that!



 I love the different color houses!

 Old sailboat!

 Mornin' !!





 A piece of our anchor holder broke off....
we will need to get a welder to fix it....soon!


 The guy in the boat with the blue canvas was being
rocked and rolled pretty good...he was trying really hard
to get out of the bouncing waves!
 
Well we've made it to Calabash!  The weather has been perfect the last couple of days but that is about to change.  We are supposed to get some thunder-boomers tonight and tomorrow so we are just going to sit it out for a day or two!
