May 4 - May 6

Tuesday, May 4th We had agreat visit with our friend dan, but had taken a few more days off so we could stay a little longer. Last night we had heavy rain and thunder storms most of the night. Creepy when you are on a sailboat! This morning was cloudy and humid. No wind to be found so we decide to check out Beaufort by land. We headed down to Minnesott and took the ferry, car and all. It was fun. Well, Minnesott and Beaufort are both small towns will very little to see, especially in the rain. We headed back and ended up in New Bern where we had dinner at a restaurant called MJ's. They had great seafood, not like home but very good for southern seafood.

Wednesday, May 5th I had been fighting a cold? the whole time Dan was visiting and woke up feeling miserable, with laryngitis after coughing all night. We decide to head home. What's one more day??? We had a nice trip until the police caught Joe speeding and gave him a ticket. Oops! I think he is going to fight it as he was going with the flow of traffic. I don't know if that will help but it may be worth a try. We were out of state and they seem to like to ticket visitors!!! We got home safe anyway.
