This weekend Rosemary and I took off for Goose Creek State Park in Washington, NC but stopped in Belhaven to top off the gas tanks. While there we strolled about the town and spied "Walkabout" on its trailer in a storage yard. Looked real good with the hatchback cover that wasn't on it when...

Oops! Made a mistake. Last paragraph should have read: Nice clean park and the price was great! FREE since we came in the backdoor and didn't "really" camp in the park.

The Captain and I took Sea Baby upstate over the weekend. We went down The Neuse then followed the ICW into Belhaven where we topped off the gas tanks. (Sighted "Walkabout" when we walked about the town.) Then it was back down to Pamlico Sound and west to Goose Creek State Park where we tied...

Observed one of these in action down on the Georgia coast several years back. Visited a fellow camper who had one and I wasn't bothered with a skitter, gnat or horse fly the entire evening. The Captain has a simple program for skitter and gnat control. She turns on the flashlight to attract...

I'd take the truck and pull the C-Dory since it is live-in ready. That way you'd have (1) freedom to roam without having to pack up a motorhome for a run into town to get a loaf of bread, and (2) never have to second guess yourself about "I wish we had the C-Dory with us". Put a shell on the...

Stopped to talk with Carrie and Gene at Mobile East Marine this AM about LEDs and was reminded the Boat Show will be at the Raleigh Convention Center this weekend. Here's what they will have at the Boat Show: a. 2010 C-Dory 22 Cruiser b. 2010 C-Dory 25 Cruiser c. 2010 Ranger R21EC Tug d...

Sure is windy in coastal NC today. I rode the Neuse River Ferry this AM and the waves were really big. Ferryman said it was blowing 45 MPH but the Captain of the Ferry had told him he had measured one gust of 70 MPH. All I know is that when I got home I went down to check on Sea Baby. The...

We picked up a cute little 7" TV with digital tuner at HHGregg for less than $100.00 last month. Has the usual bells and whistles - audio input, built-in DVD player, SD and USB slots. It's a triple threat (AC/DC/rechargeable battery) so it can be used just about anywhere. Has a remote control...

Yes it was. Thanks for the input. Cal

I've seen a kayak rack made from PVC on this forum but can't find it now that I need it. Will someone please lead me to it? Thanks, The Deckhand

Cal, The Deckhand, here. I was talking to Gene (Mobile East Marine) the other day and he told me he's going to the Raleigh Boat Show for the first time. It'll be at the Convention Center 12 through 14 February. Here's a link: www.raleighconvention.com/boatshow/

Nick - won't be in The Keys but if you want to run around Pamlico Sound/Neuse River a bit before you head south - give Sea Baby a holler. Cal - the Deckhand

A beautiful day on Green Creek at dusk (23JAN10)

Having served "a few days" (26 years) in the Navy I heard or read all kinds of excuses for taking leave (vacation). The best was one I saw on a Leave Request at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, VA where I served as Legal Yeoman 1964-1966. It simply read "My wife is going to get pregnant and I...
