Isobel passed out, waiting for the next passage.
At the Beaufort Docks, the day was spend completing little projects such as the fuel filters change, checking the Trisail for how it would sheet. Pumping out the waste tank and filling the water, buying gas and testing the dingy engine (it runs!)
Then we talked with all the people around the marina about the impending storm (Winds to 45 and offshore seas to 20'!) Where to go and how to anchor. Finally we ran into an Irish couple who were on a Hallberg Rassy. They were headed to Morehead city because it was protected, less expensive than Beaufort and they provided slips with piers to tie to. Pete and I created a spider web of lines around the boat so it will be clear of the floating docks. (Lara had purchased 110' of 5/8" line that I cut into 3 lengths and spliced big loops to make more dock lines).
Then, inside the boat the discussion turned to the concept of Complete. Like a job complete. And then we went on to discuss Myths (Pete having a memory full of good Greek and Scandinavian myths) Isobel drummed on the floor with the measuring spoons and bill nodded off...
