Beaufort, NC

Today we awaken to another fair day, although we are hearing the warnings about the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida reaching the mid-Atlantic states by Wednesday.  So reluctantly we collect our ropes, leave the snug harbor of Oriental and head across the Neuse River to Adams Creek.

Once inside Adams Creek we are passed by "Justice" a beautiful wooden ship that apparently has been painstakingly restored.  I would love to know the history of that craft.

We meet a tug with barge.

Finally, we take the Gallants Channel to enter the Beaufort Harbor from the back side.  hile waiting for the Beaufort swing bridge to open, we are passed by this small, innovative fishing craft.

As we tie up at Beaufort, we feel as if we are almost home now.  One more trip to the Beaufort Grocery for some bourbon pecan pie and we can call it a season.

So far on this trip we have covered 926 miles and have had a great time.  We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed sharing it.
