Now Living aboard

Well, we're now installed onboard s/v Audrey in Taylor's Creek.
Had a VERY stormy night and some chilly weather during the first week or so, but both we and the boat held up well.
Also had some electrical issues with bad batteries and a faulty solar controller, both of which have been fixed/replaced - typical boat maintenance issues, always something to maintain or fix.
Because of the weird geography of the NC coast where we are, the Creek we're inn is parallel to the outer banks coastline, but runs east/west, not north/south as you'd expect, so we've have some stunning sunrises/sunsets on the creek (sunrise towards the Cape Lookout end of the creek, sunset towards Beaufort Town end of the Creek).
Michelle has been doing great getting to and from the boat using the skiff, even in the dark, while I've been away. We're both enjoying being on the boat, peaceful, sleep well - just looking for the warmer weather, which is on the way - supposed to be in the mid to hi 70s over the next week, with the lows in the mid to hi 60s - perfect live aboard weather!
We also saw some remarkable dolphin activity in the creek the other day - you can find that at YouTube using this link:
