We celebrated Reed’s 10th birthday on October 6th at the hotel so he had to settle for store-bought cupcakes until we could get back on the boat. Reed was thrilled with the Packer gear, new cast net, and of course, Legos. He put his cast net to good use right away, catching a very large fish within the first few hours. Cast nets are mainly meant for catching smaller bait fish, but he got lucky. We are practicing catch-and-release so it lived to see another day.
We will be in New Bern for about three weeks – it’s where we bought the boat and a great place to get some annual maintenance done before we head south. A perfect pit stop. While Eric is doing much of the maintenance, Karrie and kids will explore New Bern a bit more.
Ava’s best friend Lily joined us for 6 days, exciting to have her join us for part of the adventure! (a separate post will come on that visit).
Thanks for following and enjoy!
