Whoever coined that term was a dumba*s or just didn't get it. The first half is completely true but the second half, not so much. I am typing this with watery eyes...
So, two weekends ago we went out for what turned out to be our last cruise on the 340. I couldn't have asked for a better day, 65 degrees, not a lick of winds and a flat ocean. We left out of Joyner Marina excited about a decent winter cruise but sad knowing it was likely the last.
Headed through Snows Cut on the ICWW and turned ocean bound on the Cape Fear.
Hit Southport and ran over to Bald Head Island, Old Baldy Lighthouse
As we left the inlet, my daughter asked if we'd see dolphins. I didn't think so but we did once we hit the bluewater.
After viewing the Bald Head Island waterfront one last time, we headed back in for the return trip
Going back upriver, I opened her up to 4500 rpms and 39mph SOG, I knew then there would be little issues at the survey the following day.
So, farewell "Under Contract" because as of today, you are no longer our pride and joy, but someone else's. We will miss you much and hope you give your new owner as much trouble free joy as you did for us.
