Getting cold, time to move south

We had a great time visiting with Ed and Cathy of "What If".  As many of you know, we previously owned "What If".  Ed and Cathy are taking good care of her, and are nice people that we are happy to call friends.  We also enjoyed our time with Duane and Karen of "Sojourn", and hope to see more of them further south.  

Many warm blooded mammals stay warm during the winter months by growing thicker fur, or hibernating - and although we like to sleep, and some of us are hairier than others, we have chosen to migrate south where the weather is warmer.  When the morning temperatures are in the lower 50s the wanting to get out of a warm bed into a cold boat becomes difficult for the crew of Charm.  So we are heading south to warmer mornings.   




We left Oriental, NC at 7am on 10/19 and will stop when the morning temperatures are back into the mid 60s.  Some might think us wimps but we chose to think of us a as smart as the other thousands of animals that want to be warm and decide to go south.


So enjoy the photos we have taken as we slowly motor south on the Intercoastal Waterway.

Cold morning, but great sunrise

So, you only have a 50' wide lot?
