Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday! Brian and I did, even though we were apart. He spent Thanksgiving with his family here in North Carolina and I went down to Louisiana to see my family. We had a really good time. I can't believe its practically December, we should be moving South by now! We had a plan to stay put and work for one year to save a little start up money for the charter business. But I'm thinking we could work in the Keys or even the USVI, hey, at least it's warm! I'm real tropic bird. Anything below 60 degrees really shivers my feathers. Anyway, it's a beautiful day in Wrightsville and in the sunshine it's 64 degrees, so it's all good.
Oh, and the photo is of my sisters at the LSU game!

Living on the boat again has been fantastic. Today was a beautiful day. Brian and I went fishing this morning, it was awesome. The sky was blue and shiney, the air was warm, and the breeze was light. The bluefish were boiling the surface of the ocean left and right. Pelicans and seagulls were having a feeding frenzy, a large pod of dolphins even made an appearance. We pulled in countless fish, but only kept the 7 largest. We're going to have a fish fry tonight! A gull got tangled in my line just as a blue hit it, so B and I had to work hard not to hurt the bird while we untangled it, it took awhile and the fish was still on the line by the time we got done. The gull flew away unharmed, thank god. The water was crystal clear and there were scores of ball jellies everywhere. It was super clear yesterday also, and we went to Masonboro Island and walked along the top of the jetty. We could see two small sharks swimming along the jetty and we followed them for quite awhile. They were beautiful. Good stuff.

Sooooo, Brian and I are living aboard Puff in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We pulled into here from the Bahamas in early July of this year intending to haul Puff out for about a year and rent a house while we regroup and make some money. Okay, that wasn't even four months ago and we've splashed Puff and ran as fast as we could from land life. What can we say? To us, everything is better on a boat. Food tastes better, the bed is more comfortable, the lullaby of the water lapping the hull is irreplacable, the days are more beautiful, the air is sweeter, need I go on?
