Home At Last

After 32 days and over 2100 miles, our Laughing Turtle is finally in her home port. Bonnie at I spent our first weekend together on our new boat. After all the logistics, including a 6 hour round trip to the RDU Airport, we are finally able to settle in to our new home away from home on the water.

After much cleaning and moving in we even found time on Easter Sunday for our first voyage together. Just a short trip across the Nuese River to Adams Creek for a lunch on the hook. On our return, we ventured into Oriental Harbor for fuel before returning to our home dock.

While somewhat nervous, our docking maneuvers for both fuel and our new boat slip were without incident and actually looked very professional.

Now .... I really feel like she is ours. I'm excited and looking forward to the adventures that Bonnie & I will have on Laughing Turtle.
