Beaufort, NC, pronounced Bo-fert, (not to be confused with Beaufort, Bew-fert, SC), is a great place!  It was charming, quaint and everything you want. Actually, both Beaufort’s were great places to stop. 

Beaufort, NC had beautiful, blue water, because it was close to an inlet. The town had a lot of historical places to see.  Actually they had an area, dedicated to the history of the town, with buildings constructed to resemble the past.  Beaufort also had many restaurants, small stores and a brewery.  We stayed at Beaufort Town Docks which was the perfect location. 

Lots of loopers were here too!  (Our friend, Nagui, was here too!) That made it fun!  Plus, we happened to be here for a festival of some sort, which included live music!

We met another looper couple, Jeff and Pam Pauline on Sea the USA.  They’re retired and currently live in The Villages but are from Carbondale, IL!  We couldn’t believe it!  It was nice to meet them - finally met people from out part of the world!

Boomerang - 09/13/2022

      We've finally taken the plunge - that could be a bad play on words.  Let’s say, we’ve finally purchased our looper boat. We've been on a quest to find a boat, for a couple of months now. We've traveled more than 3000 miles in search of the perfect one. We had certain criteria (budget, seaworthy, dinghy, A/C, heat, trailer, electronics, bed, toilet, galley, tall ceiling for Jeff, etc.) and we located one in Webster, New York (near Rochester).  We traveled there twice to get this boat - once by plane and then by truck. It’s a 14 hour drive, but she fit the bill, so we had to go. It’s a Rosborough 246, trailerable, 25 ft., single, outboard engine (Honda 225) small, cabin cruiser.  She’s in great shape, clean and ready to go!  The previous owner took great pride in ownership and we were lucky to find her, just in time! She's a small boat; but it's just a vessel to get us from point A to point B and to have a view of the country from a different persp...

Back on the water!

So after 1.5 years, we have Boomerang back in the water. After finishing the Loop, we built a house and are finally getting to go boating again. Two days ago, we trailered the boat to Gilbertsville, KY and stayed at The Moors Resort for two nights. It was a nice marina and costs $1.50 a foot. They told us they had power and water at the slips - but there was no water and only a 110 outlet, but we made do. And although they said they had bath houses, there were no showers! But what they did have was a very nice delicious, reasonably priced restaurant. We both enjoyed the Mahi Mahi with Mango salsa.  After two days, we cruised to Buzzard Rock Marina in Kuttawa, KY. Its was a peaceful day on the lake, not much traffic. Buzzard Rock Marina has showers! Although our slip didn’t have water or power, we were able to connect to both at a vacant slip close by. We’ve already met Billy, who completed the loop in 2017. He’s invited us to dinner on his boat tonight. He seems very nice! And it’s...

Buzzard Rock to Clarksville, TN
