Description: Come see me Saturday the 25th at Almost Southern Marine in Morehead City. This marine supply store is run by a childhood friend of mine that I've known since I was 5 years old. We caught up when I passed through on my Great Loop journey last July and it was a refreshing break from the monotony of travelling. I had so much fun hanging out actually that Cody convinced me to stop here for the rest of the year instead of continuing North towards New York. There was too much to see here and the weather was crazy and the waterways ahead included the mighty Pamlico, Albemarle Sound and the Chesapeake. None of those are to be taken lightly and I had just recently been introduced to the Cape Fear's nasty moods. Taking a break was something I had to do. I also had to buy a new truck and figure out where I was going to live this fall, winter and next spring. I'm happy to say that I have that all figured out now, with some help from some amazing friends. Steve drove me and the dogs back to Tampa. My friend Richie and his wife Kathy put me up in their home. Dartanya spent innumerable hours helping me track down a travel trailer and introduced me to the auction house where I found a great truck at an awesome price. He also helped me get my white shepherd to a vet to have an ugly, benign growth removed. She looks funny with her new hair cut! While that was going on, I got to spend some down time paddling. I checked out deserted islands with my buddy Tim. Caught up with Todd, who still runs Roundabout Watercraft and TBFC at the location of my old rental company. He generously lets me keep some of my toys there to this day including the X3 and once my affairs were in order, it was time to head back to North Carolina. I brought the little triple motor boat and my new Pelican kayak and got to stretch their legs in the Ocala National Forest with my friend Chad. SO many good people have been there for me these past few months. And now, my old friend Cody is helping me find a winter home for my beloved Kon Tiki III and occasionally providing a place for me and the dogs to spend a night. I hope to share some of these fun adventures with you. The GoPro was going most of the time :^) I'll start by having a few meet-ups. First at my buddy's store. Then maybe on the water... Hope to see you this Saturday.
