I took Trevor down to Topsail Beach where his mom had rented a place for the week. I got to see Rick and Anita for the first time in 15 or 20 years. Rick and I used to work together at Bunge Corporation. Rick had been quite sick for a while and I was delighted how well he has recovered.
We spent quite a bit of time sitting on the porch watching the ocean. It was quite cool and breezy. We commented on how just a mile or two inshore it must have been quite a bit hotter. Topsail is a typical beach community - I think more high end - and quite pretty.
I drove back to New Bern to the heat. It just broke 100 degrees and I can hear thunder so I presume we are about to get hit again. There has been quite a bit of damage from lightening in the past couple of weeks so I hope we will not have any more this time.
I have been thinking about moving North for a while. But when I look at the weather map it is as bad or worse there. I will stay here and wait for my sails to be delivered.
Cruising my 1995 Catalina 42 MK II sailboat with my cat XO, the good, the bad, and the ugly of the open ocean world cruising life.
