The day has actually arrived! We are on the road to meet Shannon and Scott (our ride to Bath, N.C.). It's 7:48 a.m. with a light drizzle. The clouds seem to be breaking up as we leave Virginia and by the time we get to N.C. the sun is out. A good sign I think!
We are in Bath by noon. Before you know it we are meeting our friends Becky and Robert at their boat, SeaQuell, a 40 foot catamaran. After unpacking we get a tour of Bath by golfcart. What a charming little town. Everyone we meet is so nice and welcoming. We keep hearing from everyone about how great halloween is here. Guess we'll have to wait and see!
After drinks at sunset on a neighbors deck (this happens on a different deck every night), we went to Connie and Rick's house for dinner. What an amazing chef Rick is! We ate shrimp with Rick's cocktail sauce and drank "turkey drops". Dinner was Crab Middleton, bacon wrapped scallops, rice, slaw and yummy rolls! They made us feel right at home. What a great first day.
