Tyler's birthday and Swansboro

The weather is not being cooperative to move. We are still in Swansboro, tied to a dock, which luckily is priced very reasonably. I'm not sure if I mentioned that our GPS broke in Beaufort. John spoke to Raymarine, told them the situation, and they agreed to take ours and replace it with a re-conditioned unit or fix ours at no cost. They have been really great and its been a huge relief to have that issue resolved (almost since we haven't got the unit back yet). They are fedex'ing the new one to us tomorrow, so fingers crossed all will be well. The wind tonight is blowing about 20 knots, gusting to 30, so we have the boat tied to the dock like a spider web. Tyler had a god birthday today I think. We had presents first thing, then cinnamon rolls, played card games until lunch, birthday cake with our friends Marty and Hernan, then John took him fishing where he caught a fish, tacos for dinner, more games, and bed. Liza and I explored the town today, went to several gift stores, and a salt-water taffy shop where we had free samples (cotton candy and watermelon). Tomorrow the wind will still be too strong to travel, so we're here for one more day. All looks great for a Friday run to Wrightsville Beach.

Opening present from Granny and Papa.
