Bahamas here we come


Gary and Ed set sail on Jan.1 from Severn River Marina in Mobjack Bay, Virgina. It was a warm 34 and sailed to Norfolk Waterside. There we watched VT beat Cincinnati. Then motored to Deep Creek to pick up a new crew. We met Stuart,Joe, Carrie,and Page around noon on Jan.2. It was a rainy 32 outside. We anchored at Goat Island near Elizabeth City. Page and Carrie made dinner, successfully making a VERY well done pizza(Page). Joe, Gary, and Page woke up to a beautiful sunrise with clear skies and ice on the deck. The day grew warmer and the wind picked up. Gary took the first nap as Joe and Page were at the helm. Stuart slept most of the day, his only accomplishment was making hot chocolate, before taking another 6hr nap. Joe made the boys pizza, while Carrie and Page took thier naps. We sailed to Aligator Marina in North Carolina. We all took HOT showers!! Looks like we will have heat for tonight, no more condensation dripping on you!!! It is the boys night for dinner(joe is doing most of the work). Gary assigned us(Joe,Carrie,Page and Stuart) to make this blog. Guess who is doing all the work? Joe, Carrie and Page. Stuart is playing beer pong on is iPod and making comments. that is all for today. hope this works.
Peace out.
