Linda starts going through
our mail and we do not find any of the many checks that BoatUS was
suppose to have sent us. We call Rose and the next day she opens what
she thought was nagging BoatUS magazine subscriptions and finds all
our checks. They can wait until we get home in mid-June.

| Morning at Blackbeard |
I also start setting up
our new TV antenna. I am very surprised that we pull in 42 channels,
New Bern is not that big. Of course many are duplicate PBS or Home
Shopping network channels, but enough to channel surf like we are
home on cable TV.
Mark and Karen invited us
to their home for lunch, they also live in Fairfield Harbor, where
most of New Bern sailors we know live. Their house is on a creek and
their boat “Sea vu Play” is docked out in their backyard. Now
that is cool. Must be nice to work on and load the boat from your
house, not too mention having an extra guest room when you need it.
Very nice house and location, almost has me thinking of giving up on
Vermont and skiing and moving to North Carolina. I'm sure I would
feel different in the summer.
We have a very nice lunch
and play cards out on Mark & Karen's enclosed windowed porch.
Linda has been getting her card game playing fix here in New Bern.
Mark and I geek out on installing video server software so they can
watch movies on TV via WIFI directly from the hard drive of their
computers without running around with USB sticks. Mark and I also
play around with a boat WIFI radio and router system that his son put
together for him. I was quite impressed with the documentation and
hardware, his son who works in IT, put together for him. Linda and
Karen headed back to Blackbeard while Mark and I played with computer
stuff.

| Sunday Potluck dinner at Blackbeard Sailing Club |
Mark and I head over to
Blackbeard when we are done for a potluck cookout with other members
of Blackbeard, including Bill and Sandy. Everyone brings a side to
share and whatever they want to cook. Unfortunately we did not have
the time to catch up with Lisa & Craig “Second Spree”, who we
snorkeled with in the Exumas and Dave & Polly “Illusions”,
who rescued our run away dinghy at Black Point.
Bill and Sandy a rather
tired after having a string of guests so they head home. We are
hoping to see them in Vermont this summer.
Mark and Karen come back
to the boat and we play Hand & Foot.
