Day 10: Sunday, October 8, 2017

We leave our peaceful anchorage at 8:30. I let the birthday boy sleep in this morning!!!!

We raise the jib as soon as we leave. The winds are light-- about 6 knots out of the south.

We motorsail all morning. There's very little boat traffic today-- seems nice!

I do some housekeeping, Robert mans the helm, princess Maggie sleeps.

Lunch is leftovers for Robert, soup for me, a turkey dog for Maggie.

We arrive in Bath,NC at 2:00 pm. We're welcomed "home" by my sister,Connie;her hubby, Rick; and David, a friend who so graciously allows us to stay at his dock.

Once SeaQuell's all snug in her slip, we do a little "porch sitting" with cocktails in hand .

David makes some gin martinis with the gin Robert bought when we were in London-- SipSmith. Damn those drinks went down smoothly!!

Dinner tonight is prime rib, potatoes, broccoli salad, and bread. Connie and Rick prepared this wonderful dinner to celebrate Robert's birthday!! We're joined for dinner by David and our dear friend Jane. The food was delicious, the wine abundant, and a great time was had by all. A delicious birthday cake with homemade peach ice cream finished the meal. Yum!! Yum!!

We do a little more porch sitting, enjoying a nightcap.

We head back to SeaQuell around 10:30. It's past my bedtime!!
What a fantastic day!!!!!
