Here are the pictures for the previous post. The fog was so thick along the Waccamaw River, we had to stop every now and then to wait for a little more visibility.
This is what happens on the ICW when you get unseasonably warm weather rolling in on top of the chilly water. And we were wishing for that warm weather! Yikes! Blame the fog on us!
This is our FREE dock in Southport, NC. No electricity, showers, etc--but a great deal for free!
And here is a local pelican paying us a visit. They have really sharp beaks and toes, so we snapped this quickly and gently ushered the pelican off our dinghy with the boat hook.
Southport was all decorated up for Christmas.
Boats were decorated too.
Dinner aboard Caribbean Soul in Southport, N.C.
This was our only picture of the day of ocean sailing--we were pretty busy reefing sails and leaping up and down in the ocean to take more. It was chilly, but a lovely day to sail. By going outside from Cape Fear Inlet to Little River, we bypassed the infamous shoals of Lockwood's Folly where boats regularly go aground.

Thinking of you both on Christmas Eve. Hope you are having a wonderful time. 65* here this afternoon. Don't guess we'll have snow for Midnight Mass. We'll all be at Mom's for dinner tomorrow evening. Hope you are in phone range.

Happy Xmas, Haunaka (I think we're up to 5 candles), and GOOD SAILING!
Love,

PS: I expect to wake up tomorrow to the news that Sara's fine, Ian's car is at home with all it's rescuers, and with Peter turned in after a single of episode of teenaged Clark Kent angst.
