Set off for town at 0800. They were having a wooden boat show and we planed to use our tickets for the bus tour of the historic district homes. After we walked through the small boat show, I went to the library and Dora and Sailor went for a walk until time for the tour. The tour bus was a 1947 British double decker with an open air upper deck. We, including Sailor, sat on the upper deck. At times we had to duck for tree limbs. The tour was well done. Everyone involved were volunteers for the Beaufort Historical Society.
We listened to the weather report when we got back to the boat. The report wasn’t good. They were predicting wind gusts as high as 40 mph for Sunday , Monday and possibly Tuesday. Later in the day they predicted maximum guests of 50 mph. By evening it was up to 60 mph.
We planed to stay at anchor so we reset our anchors for winds from the north but as the prediction worsened we decided to get a slip at Beaufort Docks Marina. We called and reserved a slip for early Sunday.
The late afternoon was very pleasant and we went for a dinghy ride to the eastern end of Taylors Creek. There were large new homes along the north shore. Carrot Island on the south side of the creek is a part of the National Estuarine Reserve Program named after Rachael Carson. She had lived and worked in Beaufort.
