Our last night with Jeff and Susan 34◦03'.555N 077◦53'.303W

We are a little nostalgic tonight as it is our last night with Jeff and Susan.
We arrived at the marina very early and spent our morning doing laundry and filling water tanks. 










It rained all morning but it did clear up in the afternoon, so we went for a walk to the beach on the Atlantic Ocean side of this island.  After a brief walk down a very long boardwalk, we finally reached the beach, but the water was far too cold to swim in.










Along the way, Jim got to practice his skills and get himself back into Correctional office mode! 













A few young men in wet suits and surf boards, did not think it was too cold thought.













We meandered to Gibby's restaurant for dinner and then back to the boat for some cards. No Euchre tonight, so no winners or losers and as a gift to y'all, no corny pictures either.

We are into some pretty big tides again.  Seven feet to be exact! Check out the difference on these two shots. Pay special attention to the rocks to the right of Jim.
At one point we had 3 feet of water under the boat and we need 4.5 feet to float! So essentially we were sunk into the mud by about 1 ½ feet. Needless to say the boat was not moving much!












All and all we have had a wonderful couple of weeks with the H's and tomorrow morning it will be time to say good by... until we get back to Canada at least.
Take care you two, we will miss you dearly!
Tomorrow Jim and I are heading North some more, but not before the tide is high!

 We have 26 days to get to New York and meet our baby. Getting excited about that
