A little leafy conflict in our new threads, Keli was a little naive.
We picked up some new wet weather gear this week thanks to Sandy a life long friend of Dennis and Pat. So we took to the garden for some fun raking the leaves in our lovely clothes.
In other news, our offer on the Beneteau First 38 in Deltaville was accepted which is just amazing. We’re arranging a survey next week, and are scheduled to take ownership of the boat on the 3rd December. We’ve been this far in buying a boat before (Rhode Island), so whilst we’re both really happy with the boat and excited about completing the deal, we’re reserving our full celebration until we’ve paid over the cash and collected the keys!
The plan at this stage is to fly out to collect the boat at the end of the month, and sail it South to North Carolina where we will spend the month of December getting ready to leave. We had hoped to make it to the Bahamas for Christmas, and we’ll definitely do this if at all possible.
We’ll keep you posted.

Well, ya’ll will be in my fam’s neck of the woods after all!! Remember, the south is known for it’s hospitality . . .I know you’re anxious to get on that boat, but maybe you can get some good southern meals before you go! Wish I could be there to see your boat.

Southern meals? does that mean corn dog and grits!!
The outer banks was the first place I ever saw Dolphins real close up, an amazing spot and some great people, take a wee drive in land and its propper red nack territory. Oh and if I remember rightly they do a mean Tuna steak! All the best and travel safely.

Well, I’d pass on the grits myself, but some downhome fried chicken and pecan pie might hit the spot!
