Happy Thanksgiving! (yesterday)

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! We finally left Charleston, which definitely gave us a reason to be thankful. (I am also very thankful for my family and friends and being able to take this incredible trip) We traveled down the ICW, as the wave height was too big to get outside.  I cooked a Thanksgiving feast, which everyone seemed to enjoy, even a pecan pie! My turkey came out surprisingly well, I was a little nervous about the roasting capabilities of my oven.

We anchored just south of Brickyard Creek, a very quiet spot with 2 or 3 houses nearby.  We were quite near the channel and the boat was hit by sticks every now and again, moving with the current, which was a bit disconcerting.  It was a beautiful night, very clear and calm.  This morning we left at 7 to make a swing bridge that opens on the hour.  When we got close, we realized that it doesn't open for rush hour, 7-9, so now we are sitting at anchor waiting.  Its a lovely morning, very sunny, a bit cold though.  We're hoping it will be the last morning of jackets.  We're going offshore today at Beaufort, and planning to come in again at Fernandina Beach Inlet.  It was 20 degrees warmer there this monring.

Liza just woke up, came running thru the boat saying "I'm 9!!" We told her not until tomorrow, to which she replied, "but it was tomorrow yesterday!" Poor Lize, what a disappointment!
